Sad news from Loch Doon
"Hi Folks
We have some sad news to tell you tonight :(
Some time between last night after the camera was turned off, and before it got turned back on this morning there are only 2 chicks on the nest :( :( We don't know what has happened, whether 1 has fallen out the tree or a buzzard has go it. We are leaning more toward a buzzard because of the way Angel reacted when she attacked and chased a buzzard in the afternoon. Going by the size of the chicks it looks like it is the 1st born that isn't there now."
Disturbance at Aberfoyle Nest.
PHOTOGRAPHER DISTURBS OSPREYS NESTING IN ABERFOYLE
Thanks Keith. Another idiot on the loose with a camera. How can they me so stupid.
Keith you heard anything from Strathallan, do they have chicks
Lmac - Difficult to ascertain on my last visit. Been down south last week but will get to Strathallan later in the week on my return home if they let me past the airfield (Maybe preparing now for T in the Park).
Sadly it seems that the Tweed Valley chick has died :( What a shame for this pair.

Oh that is very sad Starling. Did their other eggs not hatch. Haven't been following this nest.
There were only 2 eggs, one still on the nest but should have already hatched by now.
Likewise I have not been following this nest. but saw a message earlier today re the chick had died .
When I checked the cam a short while ago, the nest was empty with the Egg visible, upon the return of the Female she immediately sat.
Female returns and sits
and then checks egg and sits.
EDIT 17.12
she is not happy intruder or what?

Aww what a shame. I wonder what happened. I read in their latest posts that she had not really got a handle on motherhood and he was feeding.
Esthwaite have 2 nests with chicks
