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.

Thanks everyone for posts and photos! Delighted she has another egg, hopefully she'll keep it corvid-proof.
Clarach settling on the egg.
I'm out again today but I know I can rely on the Aberfoyle A-Fishy-Onadoes for more captures!

Hopefully so Korky! Nice capture.
Currently it's Mr McC in charge. Looking a bit perplexed as to what to do!

Birdies LG DU update.
The view is totally blurred. There were two on the nest but what I think is Mr McC has flown as there is the faintest hint of blue ring on the remaining bird who has settled in true Clarach style.
Sorry to be “late” in posting, but have to view on phine and then move screenshots to tablet to be able to post here. :p
@ 10:39 (to illustrate the blurryness, or hazyness of the view, due to the weather...)
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!
The view is even more blurred now Can see that there is A bird there but not who it is
You're right Patily. Only just about make out a bird!!

As we see the suncoming through over the nest, i am thinking the haze must be from a dirt film on the cam? One owuld al,ost wish for a shower, just a short one that is. :p
@13:24h. i have ave no good clue what is going on. one standing at the nestcup, watching what is flying overhead..? but not really calling as far as i can see. maybe just resistin the urge to chase the corvids? sorry, really guessing here.
