I'd like to think it was indeed Mistle, but I wonder if today's female is too dark, and too solid a brown?

Trouble is, the new cam gives a totally different "quality" picture from last year's, when we only had the PTZ.  We'll only be able to tell if Axel turns up and they know each other

Just because you can't have too many snaps

I do seem to remember Mistle was more streaky in her breast pattern, which is why she was named Mistle, after mistle thrush. However, that is all I really remember about her, she and Axel were so shortlived on the nest. I would just be overjoyed if ANY osprey couple shows and stays here, at this point!

Hello all, it seems I am emerging from my lurking capacities!!!

Gosh you really are 'all seeing scylla'

This Chaffinch (Richard ) was overlooked in favour of the Osprey - it was there while the Osprey was on the campost, judging by the bumps - it didn't sing

Snow or merely deeeep frost?

It’s definitely snow! Very light covering here at the moment but more snow forecast.

Thanks for the clarification, PAM - they did say we were in for a colder spell after the lovely recent weather.

A beautiful snowy scene at Loch Garten this morning
