I think this will be an interesting season at Loch Arkaig - who is going to take residence is the big question?
For me it doesn't matter who, just as long as the nest is occupied.

Morning all - I'd like to tell you that I'm part of the Flight of the Osprey team (#FOTO), and invite you to the pre-launch zoom briefing we're holding on 9th May at 19.00 UK (GMT+1). Background: Sacha Dench (AKA the Human Swan), is the UN Ambassador for the Convention on Migratory Species and is going to be following the migration route of UK sat-tagged Ospreys from Scotland to the west coast of Africa. Her organisation is called Conservation Without Borders, she'll be flying in a paramotor and the team will be landing in places along the route favoured by the Ospreys, to highlight conservation issues from climate change to human intervention such as poaching and power lines. My job as media volunteer is to source exciting nest cam footage - I'll be using mainly WT footage and there's certainly plenty to choose from since Louis returned on 11th April - and keep fellow Osprey enthusiasts like you updated on the project. So if you've ever wondered where our Ospreys go on their winter hols and would like to get involved from the comfort of your sofa, here's the link for the briefing: us02web.zoom.us/.../7534698525 No sign up needed, just log in on the 9th. I'll post a reminder nearer the time - hope to see some of you there. www.conservation-without-borders.org/flight-of-the-osprey
