EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Darren has just sent me two of the most absolutely stunning photos of the Balgavies juveniles. I think these top all of the osprey photographs I have ever seen, just wonderful. Thank You DD :-) you are a gem!

Superb indeed Mary.
Birdies LG DU update.
Fantastic pics from a very productive nest this year.
Mary (or anyone!), Difficult to see any rings--were the Balgavies chicks ringed this year?
Kind regards, Ann
I was at lowes last week and one of the juvies repeatedly dived into the water with no success but I think one of the lowes juvies has brought in a live fish this year.
Very interesting report RC - would be fantastic to get a photo of a juvenile catching a fish.
Another fantastic photo of one of the Balgavies chick from Darren.

The chicks are not ringed at Balgavies. As far as I know after Keith Brockie and Roy ringed and tagged Blue YD in 2012, it was deemed too dangerous to access the tree again. Such a shame not to know if any of their juveniles ever return again, but no worries as long as the osprey population keeps growing, that is the main thing.
Stunning photos MaryGK. Thanks for sharing
