An osprey with its long wings extended flies across a light blue sky. In the corner of the image is an enlarged section of the photo with the tag number 7P7 visible.
#LochArkaig osprey Breac (7P7) flying over Cantabria on the north coast of Spain on August 30th when he was 97 days old. Last seen in Lochaber on August 15th!
Huge thanks to @asturnatura.bsky.social for reporting the sighting and allowing us to share this photo.

Hi @brendamj.bsky.social any updates on the sighting of #ArkaigOsprey #AuroraBlue536 at #LytchettBay #PooleHarbour? Aurora was last seen at @wtscotsocial.bsky.social #LochArkaig #NestOne on 28th July, it'd be fabulous to get a photo of her on her #migration journey south!

Many thanks for all the names suggested for our osprey chicks. The panel of viewers has chosen "Darach" and "Breac" which are Gaelic for "oak" and "trout". Aren't they handsome! #ArkaigOsprey #nestcam #osprey #LochArkaig
When a fiery #meteor exploded in the night sky this week, our #LochArkaig osprey chicks slept on regardless. Their Mum looked around a little quizzically though!

#Osprey Mum Dorcha gives the first chick of the season its first feed at #LochArkaig PIne Forest.
There are now three of them so the cuteness is off the scale!

We have named the new female osprey at #LochArkaig Aurora.
A common Scottish girl's name now, Aurora means "dawn" which fits nicely for new beginnings on Nest 1. It also references the northern lights, aka aurora borealis often visible at the site. ๐

Big excitement at #LochArkaig Pine Forest today with both Dorcha and Louis returning from migration.
Louis was ill last year and we were a bit concerned he might not make it back, so it was particularly sweet to see him just after 8pm.
Summer can now commence! #ArkaigOsprey

Look who is back!
Our female osprey Dorcha arrived at #LochArkaig Pine Forest this afternoon. Fingers crossed Louis will soon join her.

An osprey landed on one of our #LochArkaig nests this morning. Not one of our established pair but nice to see her all the same. We think this is a female bird that has made occasional appearances since 2021. She may be unattached or be partnered up elsewhere in the vicinity. #ArkaigOsprey ๐งต 1/2
Our osprey nestcam trees at #LochArkaig have slippery sleeves to deter pine martens.
Quite tricky too, for the climber who carried out pre-season checks a couple of weeks ago.๐
