LOCH GARTEN June 2022

All quiet on the Osprey front. Mistle started gently food soliciting, then quiet, then stood up to reveal.........

,, what appeared to be a half eaten rainbow trout! No doubt Scylla will be able to get a much sharper image than me. All this happened about 5:45.  It was as stiff as a board. When was that delivered?

Afrer faffing around getting images 1 of them has come back to the nest and is incubating - can't tell which. 

Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that. 

  • From 07:30 onwards...

    Oh Mistle, that's not up to your usual standard!

    Axel didn't do any better but he was allowed to take over:

    billy r said:
    AX6 has returned. I wonder if it was him she chased off

    No, BILLY - it was AXEL who'd chased off MISTLE (if the unringed female bringing nest material was indeed Mistle).

    But your heads-up was INVALUABLE, that was so fast I could easily have missed it when scrolling thru at one hundred thousand seconds a minute!

    Whatever is the matter with these two?! Astonished They ended up OK Grinning 

    Meal break coming up here, SYAL.

  • Amazing irrefutable evidence of partner aggression yet again Maestro Scylla!
