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.

09.14.55 Fish number two arrives
10.01.30 Not long after fish two, number three arrives.
11.27.27 Fish number four, headless trout. Louis is doing a great job, working hard, four fish and not yet noon.
This afternoon's intruder Osprey alert 14.35 - 15.18
17.32 Fish number five! Cue lots of happy squeaking
Coal Tit pays a visit 14.38 (super slo-mo)
May I present the latest offering in my Artistic Ospreys series:

09.05 Intruder Osprey overflies the nest - yesterday's back again, or a new one?
09.53 Drama as an intruder tries to land: Louis gives chase

10.34 Another intruder Osprey alert. Probably the same intruder from 9am, but is it the same one as yesterday's, or a second stranger? Judging by behaviour, I think it's yesterday's back again today.
