This thread is for Osprey nests that don't warrant a thread of their own, and for other raptor nests of interest, in an effort to keep Osprey threads to a minimum for the sake of other Community members.

White-tailed Eagles, Cairngorms
If the eagles adopt this nest and breed, "we" may wish to give them their own thread and will have to decide where to put it.
The cam is solar-powered, there's been no nightcam so far. The timeline is not up to WildlifeWindows' usual standard, it's often unreadable :((( The WTE appeared @ 16:37.
A sign of WTE life behind the nest (after the mystery pair flies by):

EDIT 21 January
The breeding season for white-tailed eagles in Scotland is from 01 February to 31 August.

Am wondering if that vibratory noise in background could be a Woodpecker drumming? Always good to see a Crested Tit

White-tailed Eagles
They mated on the far tree - so they almost certainly haven't taid eggs elsewhere yet!

Threave Ospreys have confirmed on FB that the osprey who has returned is the previous male.
Tweed Valley posted about a returning bird on FB earlier today.

This has been waiting in the chaos for 2 days! I haven't checked any more since the 24th:
It looks as tho they may have a fave perching tree in the distance, shall have to get a good shot of it asap.
