Earlier I posted the latest position for Blue LH0(17) 640 (from Clarach's first nest in 2017) who is still enjoying life in Heulva, Spain. I then realised it was still the 2017 thread. So I am reposting on this 2018 Aberfoyle thread. Or should Blue LH0(17) be on the Satellite Tracked Ospreys thread, rather than on the 2018 Season?
The link to the 2017 thread is here, and I will repeat some of Mary's start to that thread:
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.

Havnt gotten in on the cam yet still. Despite trying several browsers. Well, maybe just not my lucky day. Happy with your updates in the meantime! <3
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
A crow stole the egg.

Oh no! Were neither of them on the nest at the time, Tiger?
Oh, poor Clarach. Lost her egg.

She made the classic mistake. She went after a crow forgetting that there are more than one of them.
She can make up by laying a fourth egg
Oh dear. Just logged on to see this!
Well, we'd better make some more then

What a shame about the egg, hopefully she will remember not to do that again.

So sad, but as you say Starling she will remember not to do that again.
Still a hard lesson tho :-(
