Hello Everyone,
What a great day. First, it was Louis returning to Loch Arkaig 2. His latest previous date was the 11th.

At Russell Lake, Oscar never took up with the intruding female. He must have known something. Ethel, his mate, was late. BUT she returned home today. So my goodness, there is cause for celebration on both sides of the pond.
I could not be more delighted.

‘PB’ sent me a great interview about Lola at Charlo Montana and why she might have been on the ground.
‘PB’ writes: “Good interview by Denver Holt gives more in depth view of finding Lola. Why would she be in the grass so long? She then flew up a tree? I hope she can fish? Anyway, its a short 9 minute interview. ” https://youtu.be/ymbeVxJOrAI?si=gE1u-kZCsynlTwOz
Just good news all around and what a way to start the weekend.
Take care everyone. See you soon!
Thank you to Connie Dennis, ‘PB’, and the owners of the streaming cams that allowed us to witness the return of these much-loved ospreys.
