Scots osprey chicks bound for Spain as dad’s catch plummets (www.dailyrecord.co.uk)

Two young ospreys from a nest in Lochaber have been taken into a translocation programme after their father’s plummeting fish catch began to raise concern.

Woodland Trust Scotland has been operating a live nest camera at Loch Arkaig Pine Forest in Lochaber since 2017, with support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Louis was the first osprey to touch down and has been the star of the show ever since. His first mate Aila was with him until 2020 when the pair and their chicks became a huge online hit during Covid lockdown.

Aila did not return from migration in 2021 and Louis found a new mate, Dorcha and followed her to a new nest. This year they hatched three chicks two of which have survived and are now approaching six weeks old.
