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.

    16:53 She shows the fish to Axel, then flies off with it. I will refrain from using the word 'tease.'

    16:59 Mistle back with a smidgen of the tail which she eats and flies off @ 1701. Feeling MUCH hasppier with my fish estimation.

    Ummmm what is that movement on the far left of the eggs? I don't want to raise a false alarm but anyone else see it? Is it a feather blowing in the wind or????????

    Looks like a false alarm........ sorry. 20:11 Axel arrives with a 17 minute brown trout which Mistle takes and flies to another perch to eat.

    Fish delivered 20.10, Brown Trout.?

    Had been looking for any movement CRinger but Mistle was sitting and could see nothing.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    16:37 NICE RT!

    Here's the view of the eggs you were talking about, CRINGER - highly unsatisfactory when cropped - I don't think they're going to risk zooming, in case of startling the parents, but it's what's desperately needed.  The movement you saw was, IMHO, tiny frags of feather/nest material:

    @Scylla - great video - now I can see it zoomed in I agree........ too far from the furthermost left egg to be a tiny beak!

    ...... BUT she IS looking at those very intently before she settles to incubate!
