I’ve a bit of disappointing news after a reply to my email from Loch Garten. The Loch Garten webcams will remain down and offline and won’t be back online until at least April at the earliest. So whether that will affect the Loch Garten Osprey nest webcam, I don’t know. But it seems April will be the earliest that the webcams will be back live and online.
Regards,
Ian.

I tentatively posted in 2010 I think, having followed it the previous year (the arrival of EJ and Odin), when I spotted something which no one else appeared to have noticed. The LG Forum has been such a wonderful place. A place of common interests and rarely any upsets. Respect and appreciation are more the code words, and a love of osprey, particularly EJ and Odin. Some personal friendship meetings and friendships have come from it, and well as virtual friendships. Where else would you be able to dig up a thread like the one for MC, and old DUs. Long may it last.

Let us not forget......
And gentlemen in England now a-bedShall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaksThat witnessed with us the sight on this day.

Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

I have to admit that the words in the Osprey warden's diary (as it was called at the time) were an adaptation of the work of the Bard from Henry V on the morning that 2 female capercailie landed IN the LG Osprey nest to witness the amazing spectacle of a number of males displaying below and then about an hour later the female Osprey, now known as EJ landed on the nest on her long awaited return from migration A few days later a new male appeared with a leg ring HV. Until that day I had not believed in serendipity. His name had already been chosen days before he arrived.
