NEWS FROM OTHER NESTS - 2020

Thanks Starling, so sorry to read this, everything crossed then for the remaining chick. 

That is sad, Starling, but like Mary, I have fingers crossed for the remaining chick.

Can't really see if the single egg is still there or not.    Sadly it looks like the nest has failed this season.

Thanks, everyone, for pics and posts.
Patily, Like you, if it is known I hope someone will tell us who the Ospreys are which were filmed at Lake of Menteith for last week's Springwatch.

Ann/Patily - Gordon Buchanan did give some details during one of the programmes but I cannot remember which one.  I will have a look to see if I can find it.  

The nest depicted is one you can see very easily from the road, and it looks as if it's very close to the ground at the top of a wee hill. But it's in a tall oak tree (unusual), and the trunk is on sloping ground on the down-slope of the hill, so it's an illusion! I don't think the pair are ringed and as far as I can remember, none of the birds seen fishing had rings either. I think the programme also showed the Loch Rusky nest, again, visible from the road.

I have found the Episode that gives information about the Ospreys on the nest. 

They are both 8 years old 

The Female is from Inverness (as Gordon Buchanan says - you can tell by her accent) 

The Male is local to the nest, hatched close by....
