Oh brilliant!!!
Oh that's great news! A bit earlier than last year I think. Let's hope the nest does get used this year eh?
Certainly hope so,Delia.Could be a bird that's passing through heading north but It was on the nest just around 8am
Back on the nest, doing a bit of housework shifting sticks around.
No leg ring

I'm with you there Burnie.... I'd not heard one round here for several years, until last year when I saw a couple during the early part of lock down. Then a few weeks ago I heard another one.
Things are looking up for them hopefully.
First Osprey egg laid at Loch of the Lowes today.
Oooh Thanks for that Ben
Been on a 10 mile cycle trip round the village, saw first 2 Sand Martins of the year, 3 Buzzards, several Yellowhammer, 2 Linnets, Chaffinch, Robin, Pied Wagtail, 2 very noisy Rookeries were passed, sounds like young in the nests. Carrion Crow, Jackdaw in large numbers and so many Skylarks, we heard at least a dozen singing males.
Cor!!! That sounds like it was a right grand ride Burnie.
Thanks for sharing it with us lad.

Three eggs at Loch of the Lowes now.
Hi Paul.... I think they're more inclined to swap duties at this time. So he'll relieve her from incubating leaving her free to go and exercise, freshen up and probably catch her own fish.
She'll return when she's ready.
Once the eggs hatch, nearly all the care of the young is left to the female. That's when he brings fish in.

Heard my first Willow Warbler of the year today at the new feeding station. Couldn't see the blighter though!!
As usual hiding in the trees (and there's a lot of them!)

I have just had a look at yesterday evenings footage, and there was a change over.
We have the nest up on a 56" screen fairly constantly at the moment. I heard a Willow Warbler near the nest yesterday lunch time.
Had a drive over the Cairn O'Mount with a view to maybe looking for some Crossbills in the forest, 2 degrees and snowing with low cloud, didn't see a thing, apart from a few Gulls and a pair of Eiders, there wasn't much in Stonehaven either, oh well that's birding in Scotland I guess.
