Good morning, Rusty!
Somewhat surprisingly, our local weather forecast was wrong!
No rain!
We have a beautiful day here! Blue sky and sunshine!
I am just back from my walk.
Yes, the Scottish NHS seems impressive.
I remember your once going on the wrong day - possibly even the wrong week? - to one of your appointments...... and the staff tracked down your Consultant in the hospital....... and she saw you anyway!
Now that would never happen here!
The patient would simply have to go away, and come back again on the right day at the right time!
Mind you......in its defence , the English NHS is very overburdened!
When we go to our local hospital, we leave the car in the neighbouring Sainbury's car park.
It is cheaper and there are usually spaces!

Great Tit on the nest again ... right side on an upright twig

... and (11.04 ) a small boat just visible behind the top foliage, moved to the left causing wide ripples in the loch .
End of coffee break .... off to do some edge-trimming of flower beds

11.26 am
Well, it's definitely "live"........._there is a MAN moving about on screen, complete with safety helmet!

Hello, Elle!
My hospital is in a residential area.
Every street is packed solid with parked cars, mainly from hospital staff.
Anyway, the good news of the morning is....!
The first of the UK ospreys has just landed at Manton Bay, Rutland.
Can ours be far behind!!!

Hello Jazzgirl,
Very impressed by your "loch"!

The man with the cables is a video which stops at 23 seconds. Refreshing the screen just shows a repeat of the video

Hello Rusty and Elle!

Hope everything is OKay with you both!

I have a black screen at present with the usual message about
live stream being either down or ended - It could be because
they are doing some work around - We know the engineers are
coming today, don't we?

I don't know about you, but there is some snow forecast for Sunday
night! don't think it will stick nor last long, but it is somewhat
late in the season for another snowy episode!

Good afternoon, Pigale!
Hope you are well!
Yes, at long last they appear to have the engineers working on the webcam!
I suppose our nagging them, helped things along!
There is snow forecast for the weekend, but I do not think it is coming North as far as me!
There is still some snow in my ASDA carpark!

Update!
The rangers at the loch have posted on Twitter.
Saying that there are engineers working on the camera equipment, and that they are aware that ospreys are back in the country.
They apologise for the inconvenience and hope to have an update by the end of the day.

This should have been done weeks ago!

PS.
The Twitter name is @Loch of the Lowes, if anyone is interested.
Lots of info on it, and the news of the return of Maya, the first osprey to reach "home" in the UK.
