Lady has been grooming a bit, walked around the nest - shook like she was trying to get rain off her feathers and then stretched her wings.

Two on the nest!!!!! Who is the new comer? One was eating - mantling and then took off. Both are on the nest again. I can't see if there is a band or not

This is brilliant news!
Can someone post the cam address - last year's address doesn't seem to work!
I have a 404 - file not found!

I'm surprised not to find it at their site - but I can't see it there.

ETA
I found it - on the home page
Not under the Osprey tab - under Cam 1

Lady's mate of the past several years, 7Y green tag - is home. 5 days after her arrival. There has been (according to the Scottish Wildlife Trust) several matings already today. I was cleaning up my kitchen when I looked over at the computer and whoa - mating going on. I didn't get there in time to capture the action, but did get this one of -

He just left

1840 BSt

Lady was on the nest - has been there for the last couple of hours. She started chittering and Dad flew in - brought her a bit of fish. Lady mantled the prize and then flew off with it Dad walked around the nest, poked at a few sticks, lay down and squirmed about as if scratching his chest/abdomen, or - rubbing his scent all about the nest floor. (Which I am inclined to think he was doing) Left after about 10 minutes

Green tag and head markings visible


Dad, rubbing his chest on nest floor.

Lady was waiting on the nest when Dad flew in and proceeded with the mating

Dad landing - green ring showing


Accomplishing deed


Dad has a strange marking on his chest - sap? maybe that was why he was rubbing his chest on the nest floor earlier.
