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.

Facebook update and video (taken with the side view camera) from the Lodge Forest Visitor Centre:
Clarach is on the nest with at least one egg. The online camera feed is fuzzy due to moisture in the lens. We are hoping to have this fixed early this week and will keep you updated. In the meantime here is some footage from this morning.

Thanks for the link Sami. Great view.
I spoke to them earlier this morning and have just thanked them for their response!
Birdies LG DU update.
Lovely to see her so clearly thanks Sami

Thanks KORKY SAMI and MIKE Things certainly look better I wonder how they are going to fix it without disturbing the Clarachs? Thanks for the link to this mornings footage What a beautiful location
They hope to do so remotely if the weather does not do it for them. If not they will try and stream the other camera which is the view on the Facebook post which Sami put up.
They cannot go anywhere near the nest in person so IF it is water ingress that's the end of it unless the heat from any sun dries it out.
It's sunny there today and Clarach is panting. Both on the nest. The picture is better than it was
I think I can see two eggs but it might be a/an(?) hallucination. Maybe someone with better broadband might get a clearer picture?
Hi Korky
I took these at 15:23 and 15:25. Not sure if it's any clearer but I think I can see 2 eggs as well unless we're both hallucinating! lol Well spotted!

Yes I think it's two! I've lost the plot when we might expect number 3?
Egg#1 laid Sat 28 April (predated), egg#2 laid around Tues 1st May, egg#3 was due Thurs 3rd or Fri 4th May. So a possible 4th would be due today or tomorrow I think.
