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?

Lovely Photo of White UF feeding the chick.
These photos are really marvellous considering the distance the nest is from the hide, a little bit further away than LotL but closer than Loch Garten for anyone who has been to those two centres.
Great shots Mary. Thank you for the link.
Really fabulous photos being taken at Balgavies Mike.... it is good that we are getting some information throughout the season on an almost daily basis now via this Facebook page.
