Osprey watch Threave Castle Douglas
 |
| Storm clouds over Blackpark marsh near Castle Douglas, Scotland |
Went out to Threave to check on osprey, but was delayed by a hail and rain storm - see photo above.
I did not see the osprey but a couple from Cumbria who were already there had seen the osprey at the tail end of the storm catching a fish near the Stepping Stones bird hide on the river Dee (just below Threave castle).
I saw the photograph of the osprey with a fish - very impressive! Unfortunately I did not see the osprey.

Hello Alistair,
Do you had any updates on the female osprey? I guess it is getting a bit late to expect her now and wondered if that would mean the male might leave the nest site? It would be good to hear any further news that you might have.
Many thanks,
Ann
Hi Ann - there are now (14 May 2012) three ospreys at the nest site- a male and two females. Have just posted photo- see above.
Fantastic news Alistair, many thanks for the update and hope to hear more news over the coming weeks.
Best wishes,
Ann
