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.

Thank you for your response Korky. Yes, Clarach knows best - if she's accepting him, he is most likely to be the same fella. Big smile. Nest's still a mess though and needs more cot rails. Hey ho!
Good morning!

@10:48, empty nest, looking good (much better somehow)
don’t think there’s noone around, cause a minute later...
ah, hm, back to... hey what? what posture is that?!
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!
After the black screen pause, the male has arrived
what or who is flying up there?
ised his wings to turn
look in the egg cup my dear. intruderssss huney. (my imagination getting the better of me?)
i left them being more relaxed, not checking the sky with every eye. to post all this. now back to view more of this behaviour.... :)
When i got back, she was still here, standing.
then i notice it rains. so she must have been practicing the -incubating-posture earlier. :p
and up to the cam-post.
Double-headed osprey.
Male just did a crop drop but no sign of any food for Clarach and she's yelling
@11:53. i am betting she is on the campost
As i peek in @12:17, she is defending again
she flies off to the right, wingtip evidence
10 mins later, back and on the lookout, looking hopefull (but not yelling?)
what do i know? moments later: mantling, rain and yelling
