Nest material delivery 9th April by Marion Moore- copyright Our ospreys here at Loch of the Lowes have done more nest renovation this spring than I can ever remember!

It all started of course when the male arrived early on 21st March, and in the absence of his mate, started the yearly “housework”. This involved digging out sprouted grass, bringing in new sticks for the sides, and moss to line the centre- which is carefully excavated to create a safe and well insulated egg cup. Once our female osprey arrived on the 31st, she too got involved- often moving everything he had just brought in again till she’s happy! The nest cup is starting to look rather like a crater and soon the birds will need a ladder to climb out of it! Elsewhere , our young 2 year old osprey Blue YD continues to do well in Senegal and has spent most of the last week on a prime bit of beachside habitat – you can see his movements on our interactive map – follow the link to the right on this page.
