Sunday 18th April.The male SS brought in a large clump of moss to the nest and tucked it around the female while she was incubating. On such a cold day, a welcome windbreak for the incubating bird!
3 eggs where revealed when the female stood up. ( Image taken from the CCTV film footage).
Some work is due to be carried out on the main osprey transmitter to fit a new cable for sound, this may mean a temporary disruption for viewing the picture. Once done this will be a very welcome addition to viewing the nest, as we will be able to hear the birds calling.
At Kailzie a blue tit has been busy nest building revealed on nest box cam.
