Three ospreys at Threave, Castle Douglas 14 May

Three ospreys- one female on nest, male and other female in flight.

Monday 14 May 2012 Alistair junior took this photo of three opsreys at the Threave, Castle Douglas nest site. One female was on the nest, the other female and the male were flying around. This is very exciting, since until last week end, there was only the male at the nest.

Visited the Threave, Castle Douglas osprey nest 12 April 2012. Four local RSPB members were there and some discussion about female osprey took place. I said my son had seen a pair of ospreys on the nest on 5 April. Today, again, only one (male?) osprey was at the nest.

Here is one of the photos he took of the pair on the nest. I assume they were a male and female.
