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.

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.

Beautiful photos, thank you Mary and Darren.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
End of the season (but I understand from FB that KR3 was still on the loch on the 3rd of September) and happy to know that three juveniles successfully fledged this year. Thanks go to Mary and other posters (and photographers!) for your accounts, it was a pleasure for me to go through the events.Sorry to read that Mary is suffering from shingles, my best wishes for a quick recovery.
Thank You very much Roberto.
It has been a wonderful season for Balgavies, after 2 non-breeding years.
This is probably Darren's last Osprey post on the page, he sums it up well. Despite having no webcam Balgavies is blessed with such wonderful photographers who are happy to share their photo's, I think this makes the place so unique.

It was good to know that Blue YD was sighted a few times at the Eden Estuary after his departure from Balgavies having being seen off by KR3.
Roll on next season when hopefully I will be posting a bit more.
