What a shame!
I think it is so sad that not one single person commented on Balgavies good news especially when the resident female did not return this year. :-( :-(
Here are a few of DARREN'S excellent photos of the new female that he is so willing to share.

I feel incredibly sad that she did not return and I hope the nest is successful this year as it was last year with this new girl.
Thank You Tempo for your comment, I feel very sad too that White UF did not return, especially after rearing a brood of four last year.
However the main thing is that the nest does not fail this year, and hopefully everything will go well for them both and there are chicks to rear.
Fingers crossed Mary. No doubt you'll visit later in the year.
Birdies LG DU update.

Karen - My Comment was that I was sad that no one had commented on Balgavies Good News that the female had laid eggs. Not that White UF had not returned.
Oh! I’ve misinterpreted ....... sorry
