Great to see the family reunited and hope balloons stay away this time.
Well Roberto there is a bit uncertainty about the female, when Darren went to the loch yesterday and got some photos, the female had no Darvic ring. So we will just have to wait and see what happens, whether it is White UF and she has lost her Darvic, we are not sure.

GREAT PHOTO by Ronald Mitchell of Osprey flying with fish in its mouth rather than talons.
What an unusual shot Mary. Almost unique?
Birdies LG DU update.
