NEWS FROM OTHER NESTS - 2011

Caerlaverock osprey diary is under way:

http://www.wwt.org.uk/visit-us/caerlaverock/osprey-diary/welcome-to-the-2011-osprey-diary

I thought it would be useful especially for those new to the forum to have a list of the UK sites that publicise Osprey nests & produce diary/blog updates. I think I’ve summarised the available information but please let me know if I’ve missed anything or you find any errors. There are also various facebook pages & twitter feeds linked to some of these sites which can be accessed via the relevant websites.

These were the sites that produced information in 2010, I will update if I find anything new for 2011

Many many thanks for including my wee blog among such brilliant sites. I hope I will have lots to update in the coming weeks.

The rebuilt nest at Osprey HQ survived the horrendous gales, rain & snow of the past week & now hope it will be to the liking of XL & M if fortunate enough for them to return.

Thanks again

Valmc so pleased the nest that you worked so hard on survived the bad weather.
