LOCH ARKAIG - The Woodland Trust - April 2020

'This had better be worth it'

(c) Woodland Trust Loch Arkaig

Oh dear, 'why did I leave the sunshine?, I hope its all worth it'.

Looked in from time to time during the day and what a wet one. Looked all forlorne at one point.

Love that capture Korky!

Me too! :)))

I've just been thru the day, jerkily, and taken some snaps in an experimental manner, trying to get smaller sized ones without having to resize.  After all, it wasn't a day for crystal clear anyway.

Aila was first in.

First things first, when Louis arrived:

Aila waited for a fish:

There you go!

Oh no you don't - and he took it away:

He brought it back headless, still a good portion:

Pretty lady:

Louis was quite industrious (snaps might not be in the right order, I can't read times):

Another fish:

It too got taken away and brought back "trimmed" ;)

Aila was last on the nest - she left @ 19:32.

What a sterling effort ! Thank you Scylla

Probably being unreasonable here, but is there any chance of a clip of the skydancing at 15.58/15.59 on 8 April?
An update from George Anderson about Channel Four (UK), posted at 21.31 on 8 April.
"Louis and Aila finally made it onto Channel 4 news tonight. No reference to where they were just "ospreys in the Highlands". They were on right at the end of the programme and can be viewed again on All 4."
Another dreich day on the nest, Aila waiting patiently & Louis was on the nest until a couple of minutes ago. I haven't done any scroll back but SueW on chat mentions a mating at 05.51 this morning.

It is still a bit dreich, but looks dry. 

Aila is chirping for breakfast.   

She is such a pretty Osprey.....

_{I wonder if Louis is close by with a fish.....}  

05.54/05.55, skydancing by the sound & Aila's skyward look. Ian

Aila shouting at Louis for fish and he has the cheek to be eating on the nest in front of her When she went to take it he mantled but at the second attempt she succeeded but seems to be hardly worth the effort.....just the timiest of tail ends
