As of today, April 19 2025, the Loch of the Lowes osprey nest is occupied by the female osprey, NC0, who returned on March 17, 2025. She is currently with the "Dark Intruder," a male osprey that has been accepted by NC0 and they are working together to defend the nest. There are six ospreys vying for the nest, but NC0 and the Dark Intruder are considered the established pair.

I'm always a bit puzzled when I see pictures of birds' nests. Do they have no sense of comfort? The nests are made of broken twigs, and they are open to the elements, and to predators. Wouldn't the birds prefer  some soft feathers, with a bit of camouflage? They are very much open to attack in the way that they live.

Lovely  morning up at the loch ...........
