Scylla said, Osprey on nest. I can't tell if it's the same one but it's male. Helen says, Yippee! not a George either- oh! I am sooooo cruel,
I too believe there is a BTO ring on right leg, so----- are there nests that BTO ring only without a Darvic? And whether or not there are it would appear this could be a Scottish laddie?
(and then the wishful thinking and imagination gets into gear.... could a young male osprey return to his natal nest area.....As i said imagination running away and as CC was unsure of the Species..!! who knows?)

Thank you. Very interesting and learning all the time. He's an Osprey and very welcome, shame about the weather though!!

It has happened that only a BTO has been put on, possibly due to no Darvic to hand,, or Darvic is broken. I think it was Clywedog last year only had a BTO due to a mix up or late delivery. Darvics have been used since 1966. Scottish birds have Darvics on the left leg, English/Welsh on the right.
More likely a Darvic is broken and falls off. There was such a famous osprey at Loch Garten in days gone by.

I'm on phablet due to a nervous breakdown so please forgive lack of punctuation and other refinements...
Thank you for the lesson that a lack of colour does not necessarily indicate BTO
Am about to watch Inspector Montalbano to be transported - might even have some ice cream.
