The Ospreys are back !!

Brian, just a quick update. Osprey LM12 arrived back at the Loch of the Lowes next yesterday at 5pm, at the start of his 10th season there. It was the same date as he came back last year!!

Threaves Castle's male Osprey, Black 80, arrived yesterday, one day later than last year. His mate, Blue KC, is due to arrive tomorrow if she come the same day as last year.

Lots of sightings over the last couple of days of others flying through, including at Leighton Moss, and Wareham Channel

Thank you very much Nell  

The world is slowly coming to life isn't it  -- by this time next year we will be asking " Covid,  What's Covid  please  ?? "

And you'll be able to dash off and see them arriving at their nest.

But only if the relevant First Ministers allow " Open Borders " again --

I just fancy a trip out to Morrisons in Fort Bill, and sitting on their car park eating a Cornish Pasty & looking up at Ben Nevis and remembering when I went up & down that before lunch,  Then woke up to a cold cup of tea !!

Was passing Brenig reservoir yesterday and could see the Osprey nest has been taken over by black backed gull. Same happened last year.

More nests being occupied, Dylan arrived at Clywedog yesterday evening, 12 days earlier than last year, and MrsG returned to Glaslyn at 8:45 this morning, 4 days later than in 2020. At the Loch of the Lowes the pair are together again with the arrival of Blue NC0 this lunchtime.

Just need the Kielder, Dyfi, Llyn Brenig, Foulshaw, and the Loch Garten Ospreys to put in an appearance

And they keep on coming today.....2 have arrived local to us, the male White YW at Foulshaw Moss and the male White YC at Roudsea Wood, and Dyfi female Telyn, Blue 3J, 6 days earlier than last year.

And I read that a clutch of RHEAs are terrorising part of Hertfordshire,  Threatened with capture & internment in some Bird Sanctuary if they can be caught   { Why does Brian think a few bobbies will need a course of sprint - training  }

Oops, another at Foulshaw, female Blue 35 has arrived too, so the pair are back together again.
