Wonderful camerawork from LG treated us to views of the side of the nest and flights to and from surrounding perches. Also, an exciting bit of video from Aviemore looked as if it might feature Odin on a fishing trip, and after that post, we saw a fish delivery at the nest real time (from the side)! :-D Here is Sleeping Beauty on a quiet nest tonight. Underneath, one of the eggs is counting down 2 weeks until its due date. Then we'll hear those lovely croc sounds! I can't wait!© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Birdies LG DU update.
Odin's frosty back (more geese passing by) or maybe they have been roosting on LG and just taken off...
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
EJ has turned around showing off her frosty tail too. Sun is coming up so hopefully it will warm up a bit soon.
EJ watching the geese (I can hear them honking) :-)
Searched my files for old photos of the nest.... couldn't find any reasonable ones from 2011 as most of my captures from then were taken from the wide cam.
Found some from 2012 though, shows how the nest changes

Back again:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

He is looking gorgeous, though.
