LOCH GARTEN - MARCH / APRIL 2022

Thank you CRinger for your kind words, for Scylla's and Catlady's efforts and those to agree that our unringed female is indeed Mistle. If only they all had rings or close ups could read BTOs!! Of course we still have to get the experts at LG VC's confirmaction!!

20.46 Mistle/unring is on the nest in the windy dusk. She looks much more relaxed. All we need is a FISH. Did I shout that loud enough? Can yon hear me Axel?

WOW!!! I need no more convincing! What utterly FANTASTIC work by all contributors! With respect, we have used established science to investigate and reach what I think is an undeniable conclusion.............. add that to corroborative evidence.............. MISTLE is allowing Axel to maye and he has not this year delivered a fish to her! Why would she do that if he had not proved to be a provider last year? Game, set and match!

YES CRinger you have hit the nail on the head, Mmm or the Osprey on the nest, well not hit the Osprey but you what I mean, why indeed would she let him mate when he has not provided any fish yet. Mistle it is.

Bring on tomorrow! Yep, we want FISH!!

I'm trying to do a video for the afternoon/evening but just too tired - to keep you going (probably in the morning before I'm back) here are 3 frames from Mistle defending - MsBTO can be seen retreating in the third:

Thanks for posting these beautiful pics, Scylla..  Much appreciated by those of us who sign in during Scotland's "night watch", I'm sure..  Mistle is certainly one lady I would NOT like to get on the wrong side of!  

Wow SCYLLA What amazing captures  She looks completely different now.......jst Awwww!
