Osprey on the nest at Poole Harbour. Half eaten fish in its talons. This nest is way down on the south coast so it may not be too early for the birds to return. Only started watching this nest midway through last season so the arrival may be normal for this nest. Nothing yet at the other two nests.

Two Ospreys on the nest at Loch of the Lowes earlier. Assume they were NCO (female) and LM12 (male), although not confirms by Lowes staff in their blog.

There is an egg at Loch Arkaig. It was laid on Sunday morning and confirmed by staff.

Female at Poole Harbour is sitting low in the nest. Maybe there is an egg here as well.

Yes there is an egg at Poole Harbour. Male was incubating and female returned and then went away again.
