I thought you might like to spy on...

fabulous footage lets hope she has some luck with her eggs this year.

Lovely Annobel, she just had a quick visit from her fella.

I've visited this place to see the ospreys and also one in The Lakes. This is lovely to watch - thanks!

Aren't we privileged to live in an age where we can sit at home (in the warmth) and watch an osprey nest building in Scotland? Fantastic.

I was interested to hear, when I visited last year, that they used divots from the nearby golf course as building material. Crafty birds!

Fantastic, thank you for the link annobel I have put it on my favourites.

This year we have put a webcam in our birdbox and are hoping to see baby blue tits. They have just started to put in nesting material. Fingers crossed.

My (very expensive) dentist has earned a few brownie points by having a webcam in his nesting box and that's what I'm watching as he digs around in my mouth.

Annobel - what is a "lowe"? I ask bcause we have a "Loch of the Lowes" near Selkirk where I was brought up

I went went on a walking holiday in the Lakes some years ago, organised by a coach company. We stayed close to the osprey nesting site, but the itinerary did not allow time to visit the viewing centre. We did, however, get dropped at places for shopping after nearly every walk! I was so disappointed, but did at least see a fly-past by one of the birds whilst travelling.

Gracesmum, I have no more idea than you have what a 'lowe' is! Tried Googling it, but no luck. Any other Scots or Scottish residents?

A glow/flame. Try Lowe/scots and it comes up on a list of scots words! [smug]. Emoticon

Thanks so much for the link, I've added it to my favourites and will share around the family.

Thanks for the link I have just posted it on my fb account

jeni, you put us to shame!

There's snow on the Ospreys' nest this morning. No sign of the birds when I logged in. They must be out fishing or foraging for nesting materials.

Both birds in residence when I visited then one went off for a while,looking a wee bit cold up there this morning.

Fantastic footage. I like the idea of The Lady having a succession of mates over the years and a toyboy to bring her fish - what more could a girl ask for!

thanks for thqat, DH will love it

nest empty at the moment

Wonderful...The Lady deserves a high-five

Doesn't she just! I'm glad so many of you like this site. I hope some eggs will materialise and hatch this time.

Just read the blog (http://blogs.scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/osprey/) which reports a lot of mating attempts. Here's hoping!

I've watched Lady and her mates for 3yrs now and find the whole thing so fascinating its like watching a soap opera.
I do wonder what will happen if her mate of last year turns up! Two years ago Lady got so sick even the experts didn't think she would live but she pulled through and managed to fledge her chicks that year.. sadly last year her eggs didn't hatch at all so here's hoping this is a better season for her and her new mate... keeping watching as she could lay her eggs any day now if the first matings were successful.

Keilder now have two nests 1st with three eggs and the second with 2. The male on the second nest does not appear to be a Keilder bird, he has a white tag and numbers, they are trying to trace him.

Lady and her mate are sitting on an egg now, the 62nd of her lifetime. Let's hope this one hatches successfully
