I suppose, that we have two girls here, someone else?
They are very beautiful and big youngsters. Both are fledged now.




Look at one from the siblings!

Aberfoyle, Scotland:

The osprey chicks have now been ringed and returned to their nest - Clarach is back on the nest too after keeping watch from up in the air. At one point we saw both adults and an intruder circling the area.

They are both male and have been given the darvic rings LH0 and LH1. LH0 has been satellite tagged and LH1 may be tagged later as was a wee bit too small.

We should be able to keep track of their progress over the next few years.

P.S.
Gribskov forest was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015.
Osprey is on the Danish Red List categorized as critically endangered, while the white-tailed eagle is categorized as rare.
Both species have been absent from Denmark as breeding birds for many years, but seem to be slowly returning.

A dramatic situation with good ending for the young Osprey. Hawks are not very anxious and attack larger birds. Hopefully he will not come any more
