I have no idea where to post this but I have just come across a Balbucam forum post today with photo of LR2 in northern Spain.
I thought somebody may be interested in this news!
LOTL 2021 Osprey LR2 photographed in Spain
LR2, that’s absolutely brilliant news Janni. What a fabulous find. I am over the moon and Sandra will be too. Thank you I hope he’s on his way over and we get to see him at one of our nests. ️
In reply to Sandra :
16:45 Laddie is STILL incubating after delivering the fish to NC0 at midday (she doesn't appear to be on the birch). On a quick scroll through footage, I can't see that NC0 has been back to the nest. Edit: Laddie had a 2 minute comfort break at 16:09
Cam had zoomed in on Laddie and the eggs at 14:58
NC0 could be seen on the birch when the cam panned back to normal nest view

I am absolutely delighted, Glider!
(Screenshot of his sighting, as well as the pics I took on the day of the chick's ringing, can be found at the end of the previous page)
17:10 NC0 is on the birch
Laddie rose from the nest cup at 19:31, gave a couple of contact calls and then flew off the nest. NC0 was on the birch
The lovely cam operator seized the opportunity to zoom in on the eggs
NC0 returned!
Bottom's up!
Cam panned back out
Laddie has done a marvellous job incubating all afternoon and into the evening - well done him!

Thank you Sandra, beautiful LR1 and LR2 (who I had a soft spot for as he used to get bossed by his big sister) so lovely to see the photos again. How time flies!
I must’ve been typing as your post came through and when mine came up, it went to a new page so I missed yours!!
I’m so happy tonight as I’d always hoped these two 2 year olds would make an appearance this year. ️
Morning Glider and All,
I do hope LR1 is faring well too...
Laddie was eager to incubate at 6:05
NC0 returned at 6:59
7:04ish NC0 had just re-positioned. Unbeknown to her, a Great Tit was flitting about in the sticks under the nest
7:50 Still sitting pretty...

Catch up: Laddie has incubated 4 additional times. The time before this present one, at 10:53, he had brought a piece of bark to the nest and placed it onto NC0's back!
He thought better of it and picked it up and placed it back onto the nest
Laddie currently at 13:09 (he had taken over at 12:23)
There have been no fish deliveries. BBL
16:30 NC0 is currently incubating having taken over from Laddie at 14:00
Laddie has made a couple of visits since the changeover and NC0 had been asking for a fish.
