News from Other Nests - 2023

That is a beautiful bright morning at Alyth Scylla. There was a nice sky this evening too as the sun set. The wind had died down a lot by this time. 

Just found this live cam.. is it new ? And where is it?

Perth, Scotland...

There's info in the Description panel under the live stream, Ailie :)))

The amazing story of Scottish female BlueKW0, ringed in Clyde last year, who has turned up in... BARBADOS!!!!

Sacha and the Flight of the Osprey expedition team are back in Guinea, ready to start the overland return journey back to Scotland. They're hoping to sight Glen Blue 708 in his winter home in Morocco, but he's so contrary, I secretly suspect he'll move off the day before they arrive!

Thanks, Geemeff. Saw the thing about the Scottish Osprey in Barbados this morning--amazing. It must have hitched a ride or two on the way there. Have not heard any plans, but I wonder if someone will capture it and put a tag on it, just to see what happens next year when it may well head north. Of course, we would need to be prepared for a tragic ending since that may well be the end result (or not, if he/she (and we) is/are lucky!). Would be interesting to watch interbreeding with the native ospreys in the new world.

Hello there  Unringed Osprey landed at Alyth this morning. 

Welcoming party there to greet it! 

Link to Border Ospreys’ blog from yesterday, 24 March.

An unknown unringed female landed at the nest, staying for about 5 minutes. Half an a hour later the resident female, Juno (JW6) arrived.
