Since the osprey threads tend to be here...these are the ospreys nesting at one of our local lochs (nice view of the nest from the hide too!).

Thank you for sharing your photos & for the good news of chicks.

Great news . Thanks for all the reports and pics.
Returned to the Loch this afternoon and son spotted both parents, sadly though while there I thought I saw two chicks, when I reviewed the photos at home I could see only one. The male osprey surrendered a fish to a crow - don't think the Mrs was too happy about that at all! Both seemed pretty relaxed though.

Brilliant photos once more KatTai, thank you. It is always lovely to get on-the-spot reports.

Absolutely wonderful photos KaiTai, and what a gorgeous clever dog you have! Thank you for posting.
They are pretty good at being hide-dogs! They just lie down and take a nap now LOL Will hopefully be back soon to see what is happening there.
2nd chick saga continues...someone I know has visited the nest and they also thought they saw a 2nd chick...
Great news! Went back to the loch today and there are still two chicks in the nest afterall! :D
(not the best pic, there is another chick to the left of the chick next to the adult behind the branch)
Brilliant news. This would be my nearest nest if I still lived in Dundee. Thansk for all the great pics KatTai.
Thank you, great news about the chicks & great pic as well!
