Why the ladder?

was the question asked by TF on the 18th. June.

 

Osprey Nest. Loch Garten

To tag the osprey chicks was the answer I gave. Not entirely correct! The proper answer was given on the tele recently. Apparently the male bird brought in a fish with a large length of fishing line attached. The line had to be removed because of the obvious danger of entanglement and so the ladder was erected and afterwards left there for the tagging.
