Thank you Mary, they look very healthy and active indeed.
Fabulous photos from Darren as always.
Roberto - I am so glad that SWT decided to tag Blue YD in 2012, otherwise I would have never have known anything about their Balgavies Reserve and its osprey family. It is always a pleasure to visit this lovely place each year, the hide may be small but everything else about the Reserve and the Ospreys there is absolutely PERFECT, long may they and the reserve continue to flourish.
I am sure you will agree with me LOL....
I totally agree, Mary. I never missed (at least) a visit when travelling to Scotland, since when I got to know it.
Another fine photographer from Balgavies has added some great photos, I know not Ospreys, but brilliant photos of otters and kingfishers.
