Wildlife enthusiasts are on tenterhooks to see if an osprey nest in the Scottish Highlands which became an online hit during the 2020 lockdown will host a family this year after a pair mated on it then flew away.
The resident pair, Louis and Aila, usually return to the nest at Loch Arkaig in Lochaber in early April, but high winds held up many migrating birds this year.
Fans watching the nest on the osprey cam feared it would remain empty after only the male Louis returned from migration and then followed a new female off to another nest several kilometres away when there was no sign of Aila.
