It seems that the Wigtown Bay Ospreys have gone, they were last seen at the nest on Thursday 24th August, and we haven't had any recent sightings of ospreys over Wigtown Bay since Paul Tarling saw one on Thursday 1st September.
There are still ospreys been sighted in Dumfries and Galloway, I saw one just last night over the Northern end of Loch Ken. It was probably a passing migrant, as it would be too far away from the NTS Threave nest.
So, please keep your eyes open, and report any sightings either on the Crook of Baldoon blog, to a member of staff in the Wigtown Bay Visitor Centre, or email me ian.brown@rspb.org.uk
Hi Cirrus, nice to hear from you, and know that we have another follower.
I am still in the process of downloading the CCTV footage from early in the season, and getting to grips with the Wigtown Bay Osprey's website, so more news to follow. I will keep updating this blog and the website throught the autumn.
Fingers crossed that the Wigtown Ospreys (and all the other ospreys) make it back safe and sound next year, and we'll have more news to report.
Bye for now, Ian
