Lets hope they use the photo they took at Balgavies in the SWT Newsletter Alan.
Darren sent me some more photos of the female bringing in nesting material, and a juvie diving in again.

I have heard back from Roy, he has passed the photos of CR9 on to the Ringer, so hopefully we will hear back soon.
You are spoiling us, Mary, but I do hope you keep it up!
Kind regards, Ann
Ah well its all thanks to Darren Ann, for being so generous in sharing his photos with us. It is great that all of the Balgavies family are still there at the moment, but for how long, so making the most of it while we can ha ha....
Thanks to Mary and to the very clever photographers for these stunning pictures of the osprey family. Really beautiful!
Here are a few more photos from Darren :-)
Two juveniles together.

Great captures from Darren. Thank you Mary.
Thanks yet again, Mary and Darren. Cheeky thought: Do you think Darren would travel the country to give us shots of the Ospreys from other nests?!
