Loch of the Lowes - June 2013

Hi KateP I can just imagine the Celebrations there today, glad you were there to join in, the first feed was amazing, chick on its back and Lady was stuffing its open beak, so cute, I was almost shedding a tear, Lady was chirruping all the while :-)

KateP - Wonderful that you were there today. I can imagine how excited everyone is. I am so pleased for you all :)

So happy for everybody whether human or osprey.......I bet staff and volunteers at LotL could hardly contain themselves Thanks for the insider info KATEP

Yes, it's a lovely noise that she makes when she is encouraging the chick to hatch/feed. Male came in a couple of times whilst I was there. Think he was after the remains of the fish, but luckily she was sitting on it :-)

Hi KateP, so pleased for you all and thank you for keeping the rest of us positive when at times we (I) were doubting the amazing Osprey that is Lady and her partner Laddie.  Although I was getting despondent I could not understand the continual turning and egg turning and have to admit I dared hope it was a hatching.  Although her (only)30 mins away last night and her reluctance to leave the nest this morning had me wondering

SunnyKate2 I've just looked back at your posts and pics this morning on last months thread, they are very good, and it looks as Laddie and Lady were watching their baby/chick being born, they were looking down intently into the eggcup. Thank you :-)

Sandra would be over joyed to see this day!

You all desrve to celebrate Kate. I think, if we are honest, that we had doubts if there was going to be a chick this year, even though we kept hoping. Very Best Wishes to ALL at LOtL  Emma will probably fall asleep for 24 hours when she finally 'comes back down to earth'.

Hiya everyone :)

To say I'm overjoyed is understatement of the century.  Welcome to the world #50. Huge congrats to Lady, Laddie, and everyone at LotL.

Hi Heron it has been a wonderful day.

Laddie's back.  Nice to see the proud father on the nest :)
