Gosh, they are coming thick and fast now!
I have been keeping a eye on the Loch Arkaig nest, and was lucky enough to see a beautiful osprey on it just now. He, well it looked like a he to me, but what do I know, was holding a piece of fish for a while, before tucking in briefly. He then flew over the back of the nest to the right and disappeared.
There were no obvious rings on the left leg. I couldn't see the right one.

I was watching this morning Sheila, it's a lovely one to watch, he was moving sticks, nest cupping and just sitting there looking cute. This is this morning.
Looking cute.
Surely there is a female for him.

Aw I do hope so Starling, he is a bonny looking bird, there will be a mate somewhere for him.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Does anyone know if there is any news of Green J or Red 8T?

Hi Starling
I am sure I read somewhere, cannot remember where that Red 8T had been sighted at Rothiemurchus fish farm last week.

Good news about Red 8T. Hope Green J is alright.
