Great picture on the webcam at 11:12.
Looks like one of the birds is sat on the camera.

At this early stage in the proceedings I really do wish the RSPB could up-date the Loch Garten Osprey diary frequently - every other day too much to ask? There's so much speculation about any different bird seen and we don't know who it is from Harry (or Henry?!) When this excitement has abated a bit it's not so crucial that the diary is frequent.
I appreciate the staff at the centre are so busy with visitors and the caper watch - I presume it's RSPB staff at another office who are responsible for the updates. Can we have one today please??!!

I am getting very excited that it could be Henry I know a lot of people are rooting for him but what about poor old orange is he going to fail again. I do feel sorry for him in a way.
I have downloaded loads of pictures to try and get a closer look at the legs of the bird perched on the branch but can't quite make it out. Is it Henry? it looks like we will have to wait. Its a shame we don't know anyone in the know just to put us all straight as to who it is or isn't.

I have just noticed a phone number on the website, does anyone know whether that is the centre.
I have just refreshed the webcam and caught the mystery bird just about to land on the nest, I can see a metal ring on the left leg but no ring on the right, it could be Henry after all, he lost his plastic ring but was left with the metal one on the left.

Why dont a few of us email the RSPB and if ask if they could post updates as they happen.
We dont need to know how many packets of biscuits they went through or who bought them 3
(I dont anyway), but that we would like to keep up with developments as they happen.
They have a bullet point board in the hide, telling of the days events, eg what birds are about, how many fish were caught. Could they not post this every day on the web. It would only take 5 mins.

God idea Kas. A polite request can't go amiss. I'm going to do that right away.
