Yesterday afternoon a single female Osprey returned to the Loch of the Lowes in Perthshire. She has made the trip from Senegal and immediately made herself at home. No sign as yet of the male bird who arrived on the 22nd last year but if you are interested please check out the loch of the lowes webcam. Last year there were three chicks raised, two were fitted with satellite trackers to follow them in their amazing journey back to North west Africa. One bird is missing having ceased transmitting late last year while it's sibling remains and has been photographed by members of the Rutland Osprey team. I am hoping to get some first hand pictures of the birds fishing in a few weeks time but for now let us enjoy these marvels of nature.
