Louis has left now, and I have to say what a stunning location he has for a nest.....
So many females with no nest that we know off too, oh how I wish for him to get a mate.
The beautiful Loch Arkaig - these are NOT my photo's by the way....
Yes, you are right MaryGK, such a beautiful nest site. I too really feel for Louis without wishing to anthropomorphise too much! But it does break one's heart to see him building the nest so busily and waiting expectantly.... I wonder if ospreys feel a sense of disappointment/loss/futility when they can't find a mate? I am reminded of poor Dai Dot who sadly hasn't been seen this year. Wishing Blue 24 or any female would make their way over to this handsome boy and his des res asap.

Following my post from this morning about Louis, the lonesome male osprey at Loch Arkaig.... there's a female on the nest right now with Louis! Fingers crossed.
Looks like Louis has a female visiting him, she has been here for a couple of hours now, and is food soliciting. Lets hope she stays and the nest is successful.
@ 2005 hrs. Only one on the nest now.
I took this capture of the female on the nest @ 18.57
