EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Morning all! I think we will all fall off our sofas if it ISN'T GreenBF - I mean, what are the chances of another left leg green ringed osprey landing on the Balgavies nest? ;)

Mary - What a shame Darren was working and wasn't at the Loch! Sods law!
I am not really a FB user as I find it so difficult to navigate in between all the posts so appreciate you bringing the news here.

Well I stuck my neck out and said it was him Chocoholix :-)
By the way I am looking forward to hearing all about your Loch Garten visit with Stingray (say hello to her from me) - if you do get time to post about your visit could you please do it on the special visits thread Choco.
PHOTOS AND REPORTS OF VISITS TO LOCH GARTEN IN THE 2018 SEASON
OK will do Mary! I expect we may pay more than one visit during the week. Thanks for that suggestion, I might well have posted in the wrong thread and I definitely do not wish to incur a formal caution from the LGCTP* ;)

Ha Ha Choco..... normally people would post things like that on the DU and it just gets lost in all the other stuff on there, so its nice if it is in one place that we can easily see any photos and reports of the visits.
UPDATE from Darren, when he arrived no Ospreys, then they came in but so did the rain, its pouring, and his latest text is that is now hailstones, he is up against it to try and get a photo of the ring number in that weather.
Thanks for the update Mary.
Fantastic that you are saying "they" as in "pair". It just has to be them :-)
Poor Darren - rain is awful but hailstones! Hope it clears up soon for him. But what a star doing all this to get the +ID.
Just re-read messages Karen, he said "just came in" and I presumed it was they, waiting on his confirming if more than one Osprey :-)
He really is a star, trying to take photos, and sending me messages all at the same time.
Thanks Mary. I was probably too quick picking up on "they" - just excited and also I have been wondering about the other one if it is indeed the unringed female, BF's mate.
Just have to wait :-D
Only one Osprey....
Light really is dire though..... Can only detect green ring not number, but he is just using his phone to send me photos from the back of his camera.

I am amazed that he is getting anything in this light, because it looks like it will be in silhouette, what a trooper he is.
