All the HISTORY of Balgavies Loch Ospreys can be found at the start of the 2019 THREAD.
It is a SWT Nature Reserve near Forfar, Angus, Scotland. There is no webcam on the nest, and there is no Visitor Centre, only a small Hide with limited car parking spaces.
They have a FACEBOOK Page - LINK HERE

The nest failed in 2020 and 2019 but the new male KR3 and Unringed female were seen at the nest last season, so lets hope they both return this season and are able to occupy the nest before the geese take residence.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh wonderful, thank you both Darren and MARY
If our fond thoughts could do any good, you'd be 100% hale & hearty by now
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Another fab video from Darren of one of the chicks helicoptering. So amazing to think they are only weeks old!
It was false information about the chick fledging yesterday.
