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.
Evening all; Been busy since I got out of bed at 11 a.m.!! It's been very intense the last few days! Glad things have settled a bit. Thanks for all the posts.
Evening/morning all: Daylight cam is on; chicks are at the nest and if Lady is sitting nearby, I can't see her.
Lady is on the nest and calling.
Hmmm. She's moving the furniture and just set a large piece of bark or something on top of one oft he chicks - who sat up pretty quick. Maybe Lady is looking for some old food?
Lady has moved out of view. And is now back. And here comes the Laird - with a fish (not a stick this morning!) and off he goes. Lady is sorting it out, taking a few bites and now feeding the chicks. Hurray!
Hmm. One chick seems more interested in a twig than breakfast. And exercising his/her wings - and looking very pleased with the experience - is currently peering out toward the woods and seemingly intrigued by the possibilities...... Meanwhile, Lady and the other chick are busy eating.
Second chick has now decided to join the others and is getting fed - other chick has lost interest. Lady eating quite a bit of the fish herself.
Lady is calling, but can't imagine why - she just polished off quite a bit of fish.
OK guys. Well Lady is on her perch at the far side of the nest; chicks are snoozing. Everyone has had breakfast (one fish) and I'm going to sign off. Take care all.
There seems to have been another fish (maybe two) and everything looking good. There is a new Blog if you click for latest.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
