My son captured a video at Gleneagles Golf Course at the wee lochan beside the 9th Tee on the PGA Centenary Course.
I have taken out a few snip its as I can not post the entire video which shows it diving for the fish. He may put it on U Tube.
We think it may be the Strathallan Male as the nest at Strathallan is less than a mile away and this bird flys off towards Auchterarder. He plays every evening and has seen it every evening last week - he always carries his wee video camera in his bag.
He has seen ospreys on the Queens and Kings courses as well at the water lochans which are stocked and also the golfers water hazzards.
View of one of the forward tees with bird in backdrop ready to swoop down. We have to drive the ball over the wee lochan and osprey and trees to reach the fairway.
I have just heard that Gleneagles has six exclusive wee lochans amongst its three courses stocked with Brown and Rainbow trout.
They advertise fishing breaks with a Ghillie as guide - Single Rod £82/2Hours - Apparantly the ospreys visit all of the lochans for free.
Just got back from London but Iain has just said fancy a few holes so am off.
Great captures from your son Keith, thanks for sharing them!

I really feel for EJ, what a change in the weather today!
After a great couple of weeks I just looked out the window and it's snowing!
Here is Odin still on a snow covered nest.

Willow - Maybe Chocohollix will reply to you on Red 8T reference his return.

Hi - There was a post saying Red8T had been seen on 14 April fishing again at Rothiemurchus - it was originally posted on Facebook, but clicking on the link now it seems to have been removed, and I can't find the reference anywhere. Hmm. Maybe someone had got it wrong. Roy said on 13 April that he hadn't seen either Red8T nor Morven by that point.
The reference to the female was a mistake on my part, it had been inserted into the wrong cell and was meant to be the Caerlaverock female, so I have amended the spreadsheet. Thanks for raising this as I hadn't spotted my error!

Starling I think it's Odin in your picture... he and EJ swapped over when he brought her the tail end of a fish just under an hour ago
Thank you chocoholix, as you can tell I'm hopeless at ID LOL Have updated it now :)
