As CLARACH 2R(13) from the DYFI Osprey Project has settled on the FCS Aberfoyle's main nest for the last week or so, it is probably best that there be a dedicated thread for Aberfoyle.
ABERFOYLE WEBCAM LINK - It operates between the hours of 09.30 am to 5.30 pm.
THE LODGE AT FOREST VISITOR CENTRE - Facebook Page where you will find current information and also historic info on the project.
Some history of Clarach's return to Wales - CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO TAKE YOU TO the excellent blog about her return.
Lets hope Clarach settles here, lays eggs and generally has a successful season.

Good morning from a wet FCS Aberfoyle nest. Clarach sitting tight on her eggs.
Good morning to you too, Korky. Does that mean you are at the Centre? Lucky you, but I am sorry about the weather. I heard that Scotland was likely to get more rain in the next 24 hours than it has had for the past six weeks, which as we know by viewing osprey nests, is not much!
