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.

Sandra P said:Wow, Geemeff! I assume it was Dorcha who was giving chase? Whoever it was flew in at a rate of knots to dislodge the intruder from the perch!
Yes, Dorcha chasing. Here's the slo-mo zoomed version, including the off-nest chasing
06.04 - 06.06 Intruder LV(?) slo-mo with zoom and chase version:
And there was an early fish this morning,
05:18:54 Fish number one arrives, a headless brown trout. .
05.19.06 Dorcha arrives and leaves with last night's whopper.
Louis remains on nest for some 14-minutes, no takers for new fish
05:32:42 Louis departs
Little bird visits and does a balletic move near Willow 06.03
Moments later the intruder arrived, same one who visited on the 10th. I did various different videos trying to get a good look at the ring but no luck. There’s a long version including Dorcha in the distance seeing him away from the nest.
