LOCH GARTEN NEST - 16 MARCH-19 APRIL 2019

My two pence worth (inflation from 1 pence)

Fly past Osprey

Circled around, or a second bird?

cam finds Osprey in the dead tree

back to the nest for a Stonechat (white collar, dark head, no eyestripe)

Here she is

Big poop

She still has her fish. I note that she has some white in the tip of her right wing feathers.

Thanks for all the captures.

I am 50/50 as to this being a female. Size yes, for it does appear a large bird but the chest is quite pale for a female. And looking at it in the trees with a fish just waiting .... sways me more to this being a male.

Time will tell :-)

Popped back to see what I'd missed! Oh please Cam person, zoom in to the legs at least! Looking quite at home. It looks as though it is holding a fish, so is the one that landed on the nest briefly at 10.39. But is it the BTO ringed osprey!! That is the question! Is it one or two we have?

I was wondering if/when we'd get a zoom, and assume that snappers are snapping cos I'm not ;)

oh zoomed in!

So LOVING this. Hello to everyone here (I'm so lazy) and thanks to the vigilantes (you know who you are)! <3
This bird definitely waiting and looking for "something"!
