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.
I just checked on Lady and she has moved her body a bit. Her head is up and she looks more alert .

Oh dear. Did anyone else hear Lady solicit fish ??
Lady just did some preening then and is looking a little more alert. Could she be coming through whatever hit her.

Laird is back on the nest and Lady is sitting up more. The chicks get ready for a feed. He just bashed Lady with his wing and she reacted. It looks a good sign. She is definitely sitting up now.
Hopefully, Lynette. Has anyone seen The Laird feed the chicks recently? Or heard, as I belive did, Lady calling for The Laird?
Oh thank goodness. The Laird is feeding as you saw Lynette and Lady looking a littel better. But she needs water which can only come from fish.
Lady has definitely found her voice and is calling.
Edit: well she was but currently the chick is calling - sounds so like its mum
Laird is still feeding the chicks and they are tucking in. Lady has her head down again.
She's just come too again and pecked at one of the chicks who was probably sitting a little on her and anoying her. Now her head is down again. It just needs Laird to bring part of the fish to her so she can eat a little. She just moved a stick which was in her way and Laird has moved closer to her. Just keep willing her to turn around and get some of the fish.
Well I am amazed at how much brighter Lady Lowes looks this evening even though she is obviously still very ill. Did anyone else notice that Laird was feeding one chick while other chick was helping itself directly from the fish?
