Figured since all the other ospreys have new threads, I'd start a new thread for the nearest (visitable) nest to me, Balgavies Loch. There seemed to be a few people in the hide so I didn't go in as I had the dogs with me to read the log to see what has been happening. I know most people don't mind the dogs but if it is busy we give the hide a miss. We did the walk around the loch and saw plenty of action from the ospreys. The male chased off a heron and flew overhead before he got down to some frisky stuff with the female, so I guess that means they don't have eggs yet?

Always believed Blue YD was still alive. Great news to start the day.

Should we have listened more carefully to Granny Smith ?
I am delighted at the news of YD. But then I never wrote him off anyway :)

Thanks for posting Tiger. I always thought he was still around :-)
This is just wonderful news to know he is around, but to see a photograph of him as well.
To say I am over the moon is an understatement.

The Eden estuary, Fife.
Thanks TIGER
Just over the moon to know he has been seen. I too always thought he was out there. I still also think Blue 44 is out there too as he disappeared suddenly like YD. Maybe a faulty batch of trackers?
From this picture it looks as if Blue YD's tracker is still in place
