Aren't birds brilliant!

 

Twin success for Aberfoyle ospreys

Two balls of fluff have hatched for the ospreys at Aberfoyle, and from now until the chicks fledge in late summer, you'll be able to catch every intimate detail of their lives.

Images from the nest will be beamed live to the bird of prey viewing room at the David Marshall Lodge for visitors to enjoy.

The chicks are extremely vulnerable at this age, and they've already come under threat from a very determined osprey intruder, probably another female, who was dive-bombing the nest. But mum, Red 6A, managed to drive her away and she's been sitting tight the rest of the time, protecting her chicks from danger.

Dad's also been doing his bit - bringing in plenty of fish.

Visit us at the bird of prey viewing room, or keep up to date with news from the nest with the Aberfoyle ospreys diary.
