Thanks for explaining this so clearly.

I've noticed that the geese seem to get there first every year snd settle in before the ospreys even get a chance. I was just thinking that removing what's left of the goose nest might make it unappealing to the geese, and give the osprey pair a chance to build a fresh new nest if they are so inclined.

Of course there's no telling if it would work. But as long as that spot is attractive to the geese,they'll probably keep claiming it. I was thinking that clearing away the material that the geese have been using might give the ospreys a fresh start.
