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.

LINK to latest post on Balgavies FB Page - Don't think I have seen chicks do this amount of wingercising in torrential rain before. Shows how localised rain can be as we didn't have any rain yesterday!

Yeah! Great news from Balgavies, 2 of the 3 chicks have fledged. I think all 3 are females

That is just my guessing from looking at Darren's photos of the three juveniles Sheila, we will probably never know if they are or not. Such a shame they cannot be rung.
A lovely photo of one of the fledged juveniles that Darren took

The three juveniles are still at the loch.
Update from Darren and some more fabulous photos from him.
