Any more news on the female osprey at Threave. We were there on holiday and saw the male at the nest and just wondered if she has turned up yet?
Thanks
Hi Ann - I haven't been out to Threave today[ Wednesday 25 April] but my brother met Karl Munday who is Head Ranger at Threave on Sunday evening and Karl said the female has not yet returned.
Karl thinks that the cold spring weather between UK and Africa is the likely explanation for the hold up. So we are keeping our fingers crossed.
