ONE of Loch Doon's most famous residents has returned to its nesting site.
Angel the female Osprey was sighted earlier this month returning to her nest.
The famous bird was spotted on a livestream camera which overlooks the nest near Loch Doon.
Angel's return has sparked excitement in the online and local community for another successful breeding season, with partner Frankie due to return in the coming days.
The breeding pair, Angel and Frankie, have been nesting at Loch Doon since 2012, successfully rearing numerous chicks over the years.
With live stream coverage available 24 hours a day, viewers can now observe the birds’ daily activity, from their return from migration through to nest building, feeding and rearing their young.
In addition to the live stream, East Ayrshire Leisure is planning a programme of events at Loch Doon to highlight the area’s rich natural heritage and its long‑standing connection with these remarkable birds.
The first of these will be a family event on Monday, April 16, where members of the public are invited to the Round House Café and Osprey Viewing Lounge to learn all about the returning raptors and create their very own osprey‑themed craft.
