I visited RSPB Loch Leven Nature Reserve, Perth and Kinross today. On their sightings board, 5 Osprey were seen yesterday, 25/08/22 and 3 today up to when I arrived at 13.15. I managed to see 2 myself on fence posts through a scope. They were too far away for anyone to get a closer view so impossible to see darvic rings.
This is my very distant shot of one of the ospreys. I could tell by the heavy chest colouring it was a female and she was sitting on a fish draped over the post.
