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/
to our (and Clarach’s?) surprise it came to nothing?... she is watching his talons now and again
she flew off, i was wondering whether they were defending then after all, but maybe it was crows or such, as she was back soon after
now is there really not a fish there? not even a tail maybe?
Fish! Fish! Fish!.... Get me a fish!
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!
ok, back to waiting, and a bit of rain there
Both on the nest at the moment.
Birdies LG DU update.
Mated successfully now he flies off.
Good afternoon from Clarach, who's talking to her mate...
I though he'd brought a fish, but no. She's still yelling at him
A handsome pair

Glad you caught them Korky. Great shots.
Beautiful captures KORKY
Is this definetly a new male?
Hi Patily. I think no-one knows (other than Clarach)! As others have said, the male last year wasn't ringed and neither is this guy, but I think from observation, Clarach was quite accepting of him from the start, so it's rumoured to be him. I'm not sure if FCS have made any comment. I'll have a noodle around
Thanks KORKY ENS at present
Well I had a quick look around and there's no updates from FCS as far as I can see. No Twitter, no Facebook specific to Aberfoyle, although FCS have generic sites. I think the osprey project there is run in conjunction with RSPB, I think on some sort of part-time basis, but I doubt they'd run any social media sites for them. I'll visit again sometime and see what I can find out
