Somebody's in early at LOTL - I switched on the camera at 07.10 an it was giving Lady a very close examination as she was eating a fish.
Must admit i looked in early to see if I'd imagined yesterday's return !!
Edited to add just read LOTL's latest blog at 8 am - they are going to wait till she reurns to get a better look at her.
OutlawOwl - morning Blog from LotL says they think this is the same bird, but will only be sure when they get a close-up of a distinguishing mark in the right eye. This does suggest that they have been sure of ID in the previous years. We still await confirmation for 2011!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Wow!! If this really is our Lady, its astounding news alright!
This is fantastic - they are showing a closeup and it certainly looks like Lady, now zooming out.
Wow! she's made it back.

Great idea Annette.
So, taking your own pics from the web cam would be permittable to post????
Sorry folks, an amendment as I should'nt have taken one off the cam with my own cam. Now put straight.

ChrisyB: Yes it is OK, it is your photo and as such it is your copyright. As with mine, which I had asked earlier, their permission on the 21st June, to take the pictures of the HD panel, the day of the transformation of Lady. I also joined SWT as a thank-you.
hope I'm not breaching copywright - it is from my own cam.
Official confirmation as if we needed it LOL

I hadn't realised (don't know how I missed it) that you were going up to LotL - how wonderful to be there when the osprey arrived on the nest! Enjoy!
Oh, it's just great to see her there, on the nest ... my eyes are damp....
what one amazing Superbird!!
