From chat:

LOL what about 302 TV 2019 m, but the bib was quite high and more F.

There is a 308 F, also from TV also 2019, last seen in 2021 - on 7 June at LG!!! She landed on the (my quote, and it would have been from the cam tree cam not nest cam -  nest cam wasn't working for the whole season). "bare topped three near the nest at LG. Stayed for nearly an hour". It was possibly what we are calling the 'dead tree to the left of the Old Nest.  Edit- no it's not that tree but one beyond the old nest.

Let's hope the VC has a better shot at it.

From my notes

A young bird ringed in 2019 BLUE 308 seen sitting close to the nest for a short while today.  Maybe another osprey looking to take the nest next year?

The only snips I have of the day are all on the nest, even at 13.08 when I named it  "13.03.29-Intruder perhaps" when both Mistle and Axel were mantling on the nest.

but this is the VC's FB post https://m.facebook.com/RSPB.LochGartenAbernethy/photos/a.203788146307858/4421341667885797/?type=3&source=57

Ah, this helps locate her in 2021 - and I've found some more snips

I could of course be totally wrong LOL!!

Great research, Sheila, and notes!
It is so hard to tell the ring number, but I THINK it is 308. Makes it seem likely when you add the account and photos of the visiting osprey from last year...

from chat:

8:54 AM Peter​ intruder looked like 336

9:07 AM lindanchris ​Blue 336 is a 2020 bird. sex not noted from TVOP which I presume is Tweed Valley

Thank you CC! It would be lovely to think it might be an osprey we have seen before. If she had been earlier to arrive she may well have taken the nest over instead of Mistle. She clearly has guts, as she had the affront to land on the nest with the resident female!
We mustn't assume it is 308, until we hear officially!

Why are ladies so obssessed with size!
