Beatrice back home

On 8th April Beatrice was on her way at 9am and at midday flew north over Ballater in Deeside. She flew on north and spent the time from 2pm to 5pm visiting osprey nests in East Moray, where she bred a few years ago. By 7pm she had flown in past her nest but decided to roost overnight in woods about a km away.  At 7am on 9th April she was back on the nest and I watched her during the morning on the nest with her mate. The nest is ready – fish are probably difficult to catch because of the cold winds so it will be some days before she lays her eggs and a new incubation starts.
