So the month of the ospreys has arrived. It is hard to believe that it is here already.
The very sad news of the last month is the demise of Blue XD. No more will he be coming over to Loch Garten in the hope of getting it together with EJ or demonstrate his fishing skills at Aviemore. He has been part of our lives since he touched down at Loch Garten on Wednesday 28 March 2012.
We know that Beatrice started off on her migration on 23 February which as far as we know is her earliest start ever. Will this mean that the birds will be early?
Of course the main birds awaited at Loch Garten are EJ and Odin. EJ will be 19 years old this year and so is very mature bird. It will be her 14th season at Loch Garten. As always she will be keenly awaited.
Let us hope that things are a little bit less traumatic at Loch Garten this year.
We can expect to see Mrs Glaslyn early as usual but the big question is when Aran will turn up? We just do not know.
The very first osprey expected to arrive will be 3 (97) at Rutland. He has been arriving about 17 March in recent years.
Laddie at Loch of the Lowes is something of an early bird too, arriving on 21 March in the last two years.
So it is all beginning. Are you excited?

It is a very comprehensive article done by BirdsofPooleHarbour, it even quotes information taken from Imagicat. I have only read a few pages, as it is 61 pages long. I think it is a good one to bookmark as just so much information in it. To what extent have conservation projects for the re-introduction and re-colonisation of the European Osprey (Pandion haliaetus haliaetus) to Britain

Yes you are mentioned on several pages. :-)
Actually, now I have had time to look properly, I have seen this piece of work before. I have it saved.
Mary, ChloeB, Certainly a great piece of work and well worth saving. I have done likewise.
I know how to navigate it OK but the countdown clocks won't work for me. Something about the plugin not being supported.
Probably because I'm using android but I don't know what to do about it.

In order for to get the clocks to work you need Flash.
Which browser are you using Sheila? Puffin browser supports flash. I use that on my Nexus and it works fine. Another is Dolphin.
I am using chrome so will try another browser. Never thought of that.Im totally technically backward.Thanks for the replies.
