I should be interested to know why the male bird at Aberfoyle is referred to as 'infamous'. Does anyone know his history?
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Rach - He is the famous male Metal Ring as he is referred to and is a villain.
I will tell you his story. Stand By.
Standing by!!
RACH
In 2010 Metal Ring turned up to the nest where Male Green DX and Female Red 6A had laid three eggs. He evicted Green DX and destroyed all three eggs. He also manage to chase Red 6A away.
In 2011 - He turned up and evicted Male Green DX and Yellow OU (Female) from the nest. He finally settled with an unringed female and she laid three eggs but she abandoned them the day before they were due to hatch.
2012 - News he returns to the nest with Red 6A.
Hope this assists.
RACH - Can you now see why he is infamous and a villain and it will be interesting to follow.
Nest repair is going on all over. The Seili nest has been repaired. See report here
Similarly with Hailuoto

Thankyou! A very strange sequence of events. He certainly does seem to have a breeding 'jinx'. It'll be interesting to see what transpires this year.
