Thanks for the welcome you will all have to excuse my mistakes as I am new to forums never done this before although I am good on computers otherwise
I have never followed Marge before but knew about the Ospreys at LofL for years and know of lots others but with the webcam I am totally hooked and first thing I do in morning now is check what's going on
Also very lucky as stay 30 mins away from LofL Centre

More from LotL Diary. They must be so pleased this morning.

The original male returned at 9.40 am! The male and female have already mated so we will be expecting the eggs in about ten days.

Maintenance on one of the cameras yesterday meant that the female left her nest for several hours but now she is back and working hard on the nest. She has spent the morning lining her nest with moss and grasses to make it nice and cosy for when she finally lays her eggs. The male has not arrived from his travels yet but hopefully we will see him soon.

Yep we are both lucky. I'm in Edinburgh so its not that far really to get there. used to fish in butterstone in my youth and actually seen an osprey catch a trout from right in front of me. An image I will take to my grave. It was the early 80's so don't know which bird it was. I love this pair though. He's a slow starter to begin with but soon the fish come fast and faster. Marge as i call her is also a great big huge NAG LOL. You'll hear plenty from her. Have you looked at the TV section. just search Loch of the lowes and you'll find clips of last year. At one point there were 4 ospreys trying to get on the nest. Marge bravely covered her chick and all was well in the end but It brought tears to my eyes when i watched it live. i was shouting at my screen and was so scared because I thought little Bart(etta) was gonna get killed by 2 intruders.

Perhaps we should let the Home Secretary's husband know about this. Cheaper and unlikely to lead to any scandal.

Love the place as long as you include a stroll in Dalziel estate for the nuthatches. I have yet to see otter but if I had been earlier on Sunday they say... Is it your first visit up there? If so you will really enjoy it. We have been going now for about 4 years and have really enjoyed watching it being developed by SWT. I do hope it does not get quite as commercial as Loch Garten though.
