Cam's been down since just before 04:00, which is the time it normally resets - but it didn't re-pick-up this time. It was pretending to be bright and lively when I checked it but it isn't really.

I hadn't realised that Louis wasn't around much over the past 12 hrs?? or so. Liz reported hearing mating chirrups just off camers at 12.55.
16.33 she could see a single osprey perhaps in Louis's usual spot behind the nest. No activity on the other platforms at the momet.
16.34 and 16.40 possible brief sky dancing sounds, but all quite again now.

LATEST NEWS AS OF MONDAY LUNCHTIME*******************
Louis made an appearance back on the nest late on Monday morning after a bit of an absence.
An unknown female appeared at the nest on Sunday morning. She was only on camera for about two seconds. Louis coy mantled but she did not stay around. He followed her but was soon back.
Louis was then absent from the camera for most of Sunday. LizB has however observed two ospreys apparently checking out two platforms elsewhere in the forest.
Chaddie14 reports that our handsome stranger is still at Bunarkaig but appears to have lost the female he had the other day, and is in ongoing dispute with some Canada geese.
Lots of speculation going on Louis has followed a female to another nest, but we really don't have much firm information to be sure of anything. Anyway, he has been back at the nest now so many possibilities remain.
Stay tuned.
