We are coming up to the area in a few weeks time and I had checked with Elizabeth Tindal one of the rangers if they had arrived back, got an email on Monday to say that one had returned but not sure which.

And yes it was confirmed it was EP the young male..lets hope HD the female comes back soon.

I agree with you re the CCTV they have at Wigtown , I would say the pictures are a lot better than those at Loch Garten.

Brian what is the website you see them on.

Yes I had an e-mail about that yesterday. Said that they would feature on the local news if nothing big happened.

Delighted to hear that osprey back in Wigtown. I was a visitor there last July and was very lucky to see the beautiful bird. Will follow their progress with interest this year and hope that they manage to have a sucessful season. It is a beautiful part of the world and really enjoyed our time there despite the wet wet weather!

Both birds are back now.

Great news. We will be up to see them in a few weeks time.

Nice to see other people talking about the Wigtown Ospreys.

As a regular visitor over the last 5 years following their progress, unfortunately we have not yet seen them.

Our consolation last week was watching a Peregrine sunbathing on the wetlands.

Our next visit will hopefully be in May.

Take no notice of my previous posting. The wife should have gone to specsavers.

The first of the Wigtown ospreys has fledged 3 days early.

An amazing season for them.

Yes, great news. It's the first time they've had 3 chicks too, isn't it? EP (dad) seems to be doing really well with bringing in fish.

It is pretty amazing they got any. I do believe that the female disappeared for 40 hours leaving the male all by himself to incubate the eggs.
