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.
Trying to catch up with goings on, here: thanks for more great pics, Sandra.
Intruders about a lot today, nice to see Lady and both chicks on the nest:
Not looked in until now, so thanks for updates and pics, particularly Sandra's. Been busy and had Son and his wife over for lunch.
Looks a lovely evening at Dunkeld. One youngster is on the nest and is shouting for food presumably

Lady on nest and shrieking and mantling, intruder alert.
Both Lady and Laird shouting and mantling on nest. That intruder is about
Thanks Sandra and Lynette for some wonderful captures. Glad to read that both have eaten but one on tne nest is asking for more. Got to go now so goodnight and see you tomorrow.

It looks like Lady is shouting for intruder alert and the youngest is shrieking as well for food. Eldest has got the fish and is tucking in.
Good to see Lady on the nest this afternoon - recorded at about 14.40 pm, but think she was agitated by an intruder, judging by the way she was looking round and the youngsters were keeping their heads down

She flies off at the end - possibly in pursuit.
That greedy chick has had that fish for over an hour now. Surely it must be nearly full and want to leave some for mum and the other chick. Twice now it has attacked mum and I can see the fish ending up over the side of the nest before mum and chick 2 get any.
Thanks Lmac.
Here is the chick with a very large fish and the other chick is watching and calling.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
