My first visit of the year to the Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve at the Loch of the Lowes to check on the returning Osprey.
Sadly no sign of the regular male but the female Osprey "Marge" (as named on some websites) has returned for her 20th consecutive year!
A day spent seeing of a female intruder who clearly had eyes on her nest aswell as some courting males led to some nice shots on the nest.
