MRU had the special privilege of designing and building the base for this Osprey Nest for Moreton Bay Regional Council in collaboration with Energex. We cant wait for them to start breeding and enjoying there new home!
A specifically designed raptor pole and monitoring camera were installed at Osprey House in September 2006 and saw the first nesting pair arrive by 2008. The first successful hatching occurred in July 2009, who fledged approximately two and a half months later. After several changes in adult pairs, we saw the current breeding pair, Hope and George occupy at the nest in May 2018. Their first successful offspring Pippin, who fledged in 2019 is still sporadically seen visiting the nest. Three eggs were laid in June 2020 with one chick surviving, watch its development over the first eight weeks. In June 2021, another three eggs were laid. This time, two chicks survived and you can watch as they grow and take their first independent flight.
