You may have read in the press recently that a pair of mating Osprey have returned to mate at Loch Lowes. The pair have been nesting at this site sonce 1991 and return every year. Anyway, there is a camera set up to watch  the birds live and it is well worth the look. If you want to see  them go to www.swt.org.uk and find "Camera 1" and then fins "Cam 1 Loch Lowes", if you double click the picture it goes to full size of the screen.

She has now laid her first egg, this was on the BBC website. How sad is it that they now need an army of people to stand guard 24 hours a day to protect this magical bird??


Osprey lays record-breaking egg 
 
A team of nearly 70 volunteers will watch the nest round the clock
Scotland's oldest known breeding osprey has laid a record-breaking 53rd egg.

The female at the Loch of the Lowes reserve in Perthshire produced her first egg of this year's breeding season at 1917 BST on Tuesday.

She has now laid considerably more eggs than the average osprey, which can only usually manage about 12 in a lifetime.

A team of nearly 70 volunteers will take it in turns to man a round-the-clock watch at the nest in Dunkeld to protect it from egg thieves.
