.News from Other Nests 2022
First, a fantastic resource for international cams given to us by LISA K last year:
Nature Chat
Last season we included Tweed Valley (cam not yet up), Alyth and others that I can't bring to mind right now. Let's see how this season goes before deciding which cams may now require their own thread.

Adding to Sandra's reply, here is another interesting article - full credit for this information goes to Richard G B who posted it in this forum on 15 April last year.
Richard gives us the link to this short video from the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation with full history on building the artificial nest at Alyth in 2014.

A screenshot of the 2 arrivals. They stayed on the nest for about 5 minutes.

Wow, both blue-ringed! Well done, Glider - I hope to catch up with you later, but too many cams !!!
Glider, Your pic which I enlarged and cropped
The female's ring begins with A? The male's C?
Thanks Sandra, it was quite tricky to make out the characters. On the Alyth chat, the thoughts were FF8 (M) and AV6 (F)
I’m not sure but these are another couple of individual screenshots I took.
Don’t know if these are any more helpful!
Yes, I think so, Glider
I don’t know if this is the correct thread to post this but saw it on Friends of Threave Osprey Facebook earlier. I apologise if it’s been posted elsewhere.
