Some of you may be interested in episode 1 of Chris Packham's new tv series :

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b010fqdy/The_Animals_Guide_to_Britain_Freshwater_Animals/

The first 15 minutes or so is about british ospreys - in particular, Loch Garten ospreys.

Up until a little while ago the 'play again' feature wasn't working, but the BBC seem to have fixed it now. Enjoy!

P.S.
After a bit of google-sleuthing, I'm guessing that the fish farm which Chris visits is Rothiemurchus. ?

I've got some good news. The swt have agreed to give details of the printers used for the first lady of the loch book from the memorable last year on the nest. Susan from WildlifeVillage.co.uk has been in touch with the printers and it looks like a goer. They need money up front of course so I'm asking if there are any members on here who would like a copy. Not sure how much the Cost Will be but it really is worth it. Maybe around the ten pound mark. Either message me here or come over to the village site.

all looking very calm this afternoon on the nest. There have been 2 fish and 2 unwanted guests so just a normal day lol. No sign of egg number 3 yet but the way Marge is she'll just pop it out. She looks very flat on the nest right now. Maybe Its happening now?

Hallo everyone - I have been so busy at work and have been tuning in also to Wildlife Village. It is really great to see Loch Garten and LOL getting on with the laying and isn't Lady looking good.
Cosworthlady - I see you may be able to get the 'real' story of Lady - I would be interested. Have just received the 'formal' story - not read it yet - but the opening book cover has 2 beautiful pictures of her.

it is written very well I've heard. The bloggers book is a mixture of diary entries and poems and words written by the bloggers with wonderful pictures by Ross forsyth and others. A fairly large book too.
