    @Wherenext it is not just Glaslyn where there have been kerfuffles, there are new pairs at Loch of the Lower who have chased off the resident female NC0, at Llyn Brenig where the resident male LJ2 has been replaced by a younger male Blue 416.

    The good news is that Maya at Manton Bay is now sitting on 4 eggs, at least one of the Keilder nests contains an egg, with further eggs in the nest at Foulshaw, Loch Doon, 2off, Llyn Clywedog and Threaves.

    @nelliethehooker are the increased numbers of kerfuffles we witness at nest sites due to improving numbers of Ospreys we now enjoy in our country side? Hopefully the young returnees will be encouraged to venture further afield and populate new areas. I’d love to see the Humber/Wash areas now explored and encouragement provided here.

    Latest egg situation....Manton Bay 4 eggs, Loch Doon 3 eggs, Dyfi 3 eggs, Poole Harbour 2 eggs, Keilder Nest 7 2_eggs, with single eggs, up to now, at Glaslyn, Foulshaw, Llyn Brenig and Glaslyn however this one could well get kicked out or broken up by the resident male. It is now thought that there isn't an egg at Threaves after watching the behaviour of the Ospreys there.

    At Loch Garten there has been plenty of action as the female is being "courted" by 3 different males, Brodie, Axel and KL5!

    A very strange set of circumstances at this nest.
