The Ospreys are back !!

Has Loch Garten got any residents this year? (Bird wise.)

Reminds me of my trip up there to see the birds some 60+ years ago. How many pairs are resident these days?

I'm not sure how many in total are looking for "Homes in the Country" at present Red, for the last few years Loch Garton has been in need of Bird Family Support Staff since they have been very flighty critturs ( pun intended ) and the nest overlooked by the RSPB site has actually been a dismal failure !  So we will have to keep looking and hoping for some thing to drag me ## back on the road again  ##

For the best information see the posts that NTH puts on here for me ( and others of course ) such as Page 33 etc etc of this thread.  There will be Links to several different Osprey nesting sites on them

RF, there is a new nest site, close to the old one which was on a dying tree, but no shows yet. 

Here is a link to RSPB web site for LG.

Brian, hope you are soon able to get out on the road. A trip taking in Foulshaw Moss,  Esthwaite Water, Bassenthwaite, Threaves Castle and Loch of the Lowes should ensure that you see one for two at least. The pairs at EW, TC and LotL have arrived already.

The first egg of the year, on the nests that are monitored and filmed, has been laid, late last night, by Maya at Manton Bay, Rutland. 

Many of the pairs have yet to arrive, with only one, or possibly 2, of the 7 nests at Keilder occupied. 

Hope to visit Threives Castle next week to try and get a view of the pair there.

Redface, there was a female Osprey that landed on the next on 29th, possible the same one as last year, Mistle, but nothing more apart from a few flypasts.

BTW, joining two threads, there is a camera on a White Tailed Eagle's nest, with occupants, being monitored at the LG visitors centre.

Just posted on what have you seen I have had a Osprey fly over here on its way north managed to catch it with the bins.

General rubbish or recycling?

Have to be glass CY as they have glass in them he he.

RedKite, I wonder if it was Male Osprey 4K(13) who is making excellent progress so far on his migration and has travelled across the majority of Spain by 2 days ago, having left his wintering grounds in Guinea on 21st of March, and is heading back to Rutland Water?😁
