First osprey egg of year spotted
14 April 2013

The first osprey egg to be laid in Scotland this year has been spotted in nest in the Scottish Borders.
Tweed Valley Osprey Project information officer Diane Bennett said the birds of prey returned from their winter sojourn just over a fortnight ago on April 3.
The egg was spotted in a nest by a project volunteer on Friday.

Ospreys have been nesting in the Tweed Valley for more than 15 years, and this is the tenth consecutive breeding season that this pair have returned, she said.

The Tweed Valley Ospreys Project, a partnership between the Forestry Commission Scotland, Kailzie Gardens and RSPB Scotland, works to help safeguard the birds and allow the public to enjoy them through two viewing centres in Glentress Forest and Kailzie Gardens, near Peebles.

Ms Bennett said: "It's been another year of pretty bad weather for them but it seems that the ospreys are getting used to dealing with the cold and snow when they first return.

"This is the tenth season where they've come back to a sturdy nest, thanks to the work of Forestry Commission Scotland's conservation rangers, and with this first egg, things are looking promising.

"One of our new volunteers spotted the egg on Friday and as you'd expect, the mother osprey has been fussing over it and has made sure that she's found the best position for incubation.

"Hopefully there will be more eggs to come - but for now it's all good news."
