Not a sighting but if anyone wants to follow osprey breeding(hopefully) the Woodland Trust have two high quality webcams on nests by the loch.

There were osprey like calls yesterday and one has arrived on the nest this morning.

Looks like they are nesting in the “new” nest. Nice to see.

Got hooked watching them in 2020 when Louis and Aila successfully had three chicks. Last year only Louis returned but to a different nest with Dorcha which had no camera. This year they've also put a camera on that nest to which Louis and Dorcha have returned. There was a sighting of another osprey on the first nest but haven't seen anything recently. Fingers crossed for a successful year.
