Thought I'd start a separate thread for the posting of news, updates, pictures etc. from the nest at the Loch of the Lowes. Now that the first chick has hatched at Loch Garten the Daily Update page is going to get too unwieldy if it is used for news from LotL as well as LG, and the "News From Other Nests" is getting pretty full as well.
Its so dark at LOTL so can't quite tell whether it was Lady trying to rally or one of the chicks moving about.
Will say night night now and hope by morning there may be better news.

Someone is working the cam at LOTL - very early there. I think I saw the female lift her head but could've been the chicks disturbing her.....
"Lady" appeared to raise her head a couple of times
Peter has been doing a night-long vigil there.
Smiles, Jan.
Hey Wattle: Just saw you on the LG thread. This is sad.
Chicks are moving.
Cam is searching the area, presumably for the male....
The male just delivered a fish and is feeding the chicks. Lady raised her head after he arrived.
At first one chick just went to Lady's side when the fish was delivered, but then realized Dad was serving breakfast and went to him. The chick must feel confused

Male has arrived with fish; female raised her head for just a moment. Male is feeing one chick; the other chick has wandered over to the female (choke!) and is now heading back to food. Female has raised her head, looking around; has now settled down again. Doesn't seem to want to be bothered....... Not sure how much food the chicks are getting since they have their backs to the cam. Am sure the LOTL folks will clue us in. Oh dear. One chick pooped and toppled over on its face - whoops! - have to work on that balance!
Morning Barbara Jean: Wonder if the male can keep things going until these chicks fledge....
