After Friday's excitement seeing Mrs BTO (thanks Karen), not one osprey landed on the nest, although we think we heard one nearby. Super-sleuth-scylla managed to record what we heard. But maybe we were all haliaetus-hallucinating, as Fergus from LG HQ posted to say they'd not seen anything all day, except one osprey flying overhead (although some of us were watching the webcam before the centre opened). Anyhow, there's always another day........
EDIT; title changed to 'update' as there's not a lot of nest activity at present. We can revert back to daily updates once we have 2 or 3 days of solid action if you get my drift
LATEST BLOG FROM LOCH GARTEN, Published by Blair yesterday afternoon.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Thank you for linking the new blog, MARY (and good morning!), I wouldn't have noticed it. I see that it's going to be quite interesting so have broken off from reading it to do the morning duties.
I think the cam is pukka, tho there's been some buffering.
DAYCAM 05:02
The sun thru a heavy mist decolours emerald time:
IMAGICAT
Very atmospheric....
Look what I got popping up at me whilst reading Blair's blog:
Here is the mist without the sun - is it going to be a lovely day?
Korky - good idea, thanks.
Mary - thanks for the blog link.
A much brighter scene at the nest. I notice that the grass is growing and there is even a little yellow something - dandelion I think.
But what a lovely sight to see - new growth and I am going to read this as a good omen.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We may have had a lot of little birds visiting, but this is the first who caught my eye - only by its movement, as it's very, um, subtle ;)
I fear that the cam has entered an outage/buffering phase :'(
Is this is for the rest of the season? Flaky video and no sound? Will the source of the problem never be diagnosed? What has changed since last season, besides the equipment being a year older?
What with one thing and another (confesses me, having commented elsewhere that there was little negativity here) the sight of this silent, empty nest depresses me more each day.
