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.
Birdie's DU Summaries 2018 https://www.imagicat.com/
So doubtful she lay any more now then? Thanks Mary :)
No I don't think so Sandra, if her and her mate raises two healthy chicks this year again that will be a very successful season for them. :-)

It was lovely to watch them last season and, as you say, a very successful outcome. :)
Thanks for your visit report and the vid Mary GK.
Music accompanying the vid is one of my favourite music tracks.
Thanks for the report and vid MARY That's an amazing nest Glad allis well even though we can't see much
Thank you Mary and for clearing up the number of eggs. Great to see the actual premises as well.
Birdies LG DU update.
I deleted and refrained from posting my thoughts re: the visitor lodge @ Mike.
Lets just say....sometimes I think they get there priorities wrong!!
What happened to the good old Scout and Guide Wooden Hut idea?
Thanks for all of the pics and posts. Hope the camera dries out soon! As for the traditional scout hut, we must think long term, and probably must admit that nature reserves need to appeal to more than just Ospreyholics and other Birders! Think of the long-term future of Ospreys and other wildlife. Long-term support is needed and that means supplying decent facilities for parents and small children and entertainment for people of all ages. Then all attempts must be made to teach parents and children about the wonders of nature through the fascinating and dramatic lives of Ospreys as well as other nature. Catch them young and they will support nature conservation and bring their children to nature reserves in the future.
Kind regards, Ann
This isn't the place to go into discussion re: my thoughts mentioned above Gardenbirder. I think MaryGK's visit report and especially the video says it all... ref my mention of priorities.
