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.
Anyone around?
Hurray! Dad came to nest - and left - but did he bring a fish? Chicks are calling excitedly but Lady is preening. He landed so I couldn't see what, or if, he'd brought anything. It looks like there might be a fish there - but it's not moving and could just be a trick of the light. Oh darn. Don't know what went on there.... Let's hope someone on the official LOTL page can throw some light on things.....off to check.
OK. well she did fly about and the male (Laird? Frank?) brought - a stick! Hmm.
I'm off now; take care all.
Miracle at LoTL.
Never thought I'd see this again, Laird on the left feeding one chick and Lady on the right feeding the other..
The moving finger writes..........and having writ, moves on

Me too, Wrinklie.
Annette: Can't thank you enough for keeping us informed during the night . Your updates are the first thing I turn to in the morning with my cup of coffee. Sleep tight.

News article our local 'rag' - words fail me... what a story!
Lovely to come on this morning and see both the LotL and L. Garten females preening, with the chicks safely beside them.
Sorry, BigRab, your link didn't work for me just now, will try again later for it.
Thanks Annette for your overnight observations. Very much appreciated. Lady looking around her, with the chicks lying nearby her.
Morning all, link here to some great new photos of LOTL by Ross Forsyth, mainly of the Laird fishing (copyright applies):

BigRab.
It wouldn't open for me either. It said "page cannot be found"
Thanks anyway :-)
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
