LOCH ARKAIG - THE WOODLAND TRUST - MARCH 2022 TO END OF FEBRUARY 2023

Bunarkaig nest update 2nd May 09.00 from WT chatter Chaddie14 who can see the nest from his house:

"Prince and Affric update; after seeming to settle on the Bunarkaig nest the last couple of weeks, the last couple of days they have been largely absent, visiting C1 occasionally, but last night back on Bunarkaig and here this morning so far. They arrived in the area about a week after Louis and Dorcha, I think, so maybe they might lay this week (somewhere!). I checked another nest site on the river Arkaig yesterday, but nothing doing there either (a pair, perhaps Prince and Affric, laid two eggs there last year but didnt incubate them apparently). I will keep an eye on that one as I walk the dog past it most days. We will wait and see, as ever!"

May I present the latest in my Artistic Ospreys 2022 series, speeded up and set to the sublime Goldberg Variations by JS Bach:

Thank you patily! The stunningly beautiful scenery makes it easy - so pleased we have the second cam this year otherwise we’d miss all this. 

12.55 Why is Dorcha wearing a fake moustache? Well, a stick, but why dosn't she just bend down and wipe it off?

Fantastic videos, Geemeff.. Your 'Dorcha at Sunset' was particularly brilliant!! Thank you!
