.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.

HK0 busied herself in the morning but the weather turned awful and I didn't see her for the rest of the day:
HK0 has been on and off the nest at Alyth today. She’s brought in sticks
and done some rearranging
but then brought in a piece of black polythene.
She flew off with it still attached to her talons about 20 minutes later.
Thankfully when she next returned it was gone.

Thank goodness she got rid ot it - even if she didn't mean to
Just to show I bothered - she got gulled, and at least 2 were flying around the nest for a while:
Lots of long rests, lots of ins 'n outs, she eventually retired approx 1830.
Alyth:
HK0 arrived at the nest about 6.34 this morning. She didn't do a lot except scan the skies.
After 30 minutes she left and hasn't yet been back (11.10)
Intruder visits HK0 on the nest at Alyth this afternoon. Is it the same female who’s been here before?

URF tried to kick HK0 but I couldn't get a good shot - there wasn't one, I mean
