The Ospreys are back !!

Looks as if we won't be so lucky up at Boat of Garten, as the nest is devoid of life. We'll find out more tomorrow hopefully. 

Still got Ospreys around/across Norfolk so there may be hope yet Nell.  One flew around Blakney yesterday 

Very  little  hope  for  Loch  Garten  this  year  now .

Just  a  pile of  twigs various,  covered  in  a  thin  layer of  grass  or  similar.  I  suppose  I  can  just  hope  that  it's  a  'fallow  year'  getting  ready  for  a  bumper  crop  in  2020 

The Ospreys in Wales and Rutland water are all doing well.  Will make a brief visit to Wales to see them next week

What of those Lakeland Ospreys?

The pair at Foulshaw Moss are doing fine, sitting eggs I think. The pair at Bassenthwite do have at least one egg. There has also been at least 3 others seen in the Bass nest area. 

The wardens at the Garten were saying that they don't expect that there'll be any pairs laying there this year, but are hoping that a couple of young ones will pair up this month and will return to the site next year.

We're hoping to get along there later this month so thanks for update.

Well they were back with a vengeance today! Drove down to Kincraig and up to the church that overlooks Loch Insh. Just as we got out of our car an Osprey flew overhead, and then we spotted 3 others higher up above our heads. The reason we'd come was to view the Osprey's nest on Tom Dubh island, and there we saw our 5th one, sitting on the nest. Perhaps a couple of those that were flying high will pair up and choose to settle over at Loch Garten....fingers crossed.

No Ospreys apparently at Llyn Brenig. The camera nest has bee taken over by Black Backed Gulls.
