This was a satellite-tagged territorial pair so the sudden disappearance of both of them at the same time is highly suspicious.

Over the weekend, the National Park got its first dusting of snow of the season.

This came just in time for the autumn equinox today, marking the shift into the colder months.

Here's one of our favourite autumnal snow photos to celebrate.

What are you most excited about as the temperatures drop?

Three days this weekend watching at least three Ospreys on the Clyde, between Erskine Bridge and the Port. Three days of torrential rain showers, soggy boots, useless waterproofs, and under-exposed photos. Good craic still. #birds

It seems the main players have all begun their migration south for the winter, so now feels like the perfect time to look back on a dramatic breeding season for the ospreys at Loch of the Lowes.
