The Loch of the Lowes webcam is working. The osprey (LM12) is back from holiday. He arrived a few days ago.
Great birds sound this evening, all are busy finding a mate I guess. One sound in particular is very strange.
Around 18:15 local time (pity there is no time stamp).

Both birds have arrived now.
Today there was a storm that made a mess of the nest. The quality of the images is not great, the streaming was poor. Must be the wind.

The ospreys have endured 2 incidents of human interference near their nest within the last 2-3 weeks or so. The 1st was the kayaker and the 2nd was last weekend when a man and his children could be heard talking and the man suppressed a sneeze or cough. Both incidents either caused 1 or both osprey to fly from the nest. Here is an update:

And here is a video of last weekends incident by scyllabub:

So sad to hear about those dammned noises & sneezings by tourists...but there were some more disturbances by an unringed female intruder which was chased by NC0 >> scyllas video:

I guess there is still a little chance for the current breeding pair to return or
another osprey pair might overtake this nest in the following days...

I don't think this can be the female osprey we've already seen,
because it couldn't possibly be confused with NC0. I can't even say for sure if it's male or female, tho it looks more female in size. Somebody will now tell me it's 100% Laddie. But there's no Spanish dancer.

I'm too distant to ID as yet...Same one as earlier, Scylla
Loch of the Lowes, Scotland: NC0 was on the nest.
Sandra: Really good to see NC0 defending the nest and area - she seems to be maturing - if Laddie and NC0 are busy guarding their area they really can't settle/relax
