Dai Dot was first to land at the nesting site near Machynlleth, which is looked after by the Dyfi Osprey Project, marking the start of this year's nesting season.
The male bird, who usually spends his summers in Rutland, 180 miles away, stopped off at the nest last year as well, pairing up with Blue 24 before the pair were chased off by resident breeding pair Monty and Glesni.
Last year Monty returned on April 8 with Glesni following a day later. The pair, who are regular stars on BBC's Springwatch, raised two chicks, Gwynant and Deri, before leaving the nest in September for their annual 3,000-mile migration.
