BALGAVIES LOCH OSPREYS - 2022

All the HISTORY of Balgavies Loch Ospreys can be found at the start of the 2019 THREAD.

It is a SWT Nature Reserve near Forfar, Angus, Scotland. There is no webcam on the nest, and there is no Visitor Centre, only a small Hide with limited car parking spaces.

They have a FACEBOOK Page - LINK HERE

The nest failed in 2020 and 2019 but the new male KR3 and Unringed female returned in 2021 and raised 3 chicks.

I can't even type a post on Facebook any more, I tried to reply to Chloe about her dogs but the page kept jumping about.

However, here's a try at a posh link ("only" to my small BlueXD album).

Surprise, surprise, it worked! I just pasted the URL into Insert/Link and selected New Window.

Plus !!! I'm doing this in my sleep, as my repaired laptop cam back from the mender's in a terrible, terrible mess, and it's not going to be fixed (by me) until much later!

BTW - It's probably in our favour that Balgavies can't have a cam, because Darren might not feel so compelled to take his beautiful pictures if it were online

Thank You SCYLLA - will give it a try.

I had never done the New Window bit before.

Well I agree about Balgavies, I hope it always stays small, no visitor centre or webcam can surpass a small hide, with friendly people, and lots of blethering

Congrats!

I always do when the link is going to take us away from the thread we're in, including to other sites. Then one can simply close the new tab/window when we've seen what we needed to see, and our original page is still sitting there.

Thanks for this new thread, Mary! Fingers crossed for this new season.

Kind regards, Ann

Report from one of the Admins that there are 2 Ospreys at Balgavies this morning. Will have to wait to Darren goes with his big lens to confirm if it is the unringed female and KR3.
