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.
Gosh, chick2 must be starving, it is ripping it off.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Intruder about and chick 2 is mantling over its fish.
Glad I have seen chick 2 with a nice sized fish.
Going now.
Bye
Still intruders about.
Lookin in and guess what .................. an empty nest. Distance cam is acting funny too.
Will look in later today as out for most of the day.

Thank you all for the fantastic updates and pics over the last two days, I haven't been able to check in but thanks to you I now feel up to date. I hope Lady does manage to migrate even if only to the warmer climate of Spain - although it would appear unlikely it would be great to see her back next year.
Have been keeping constant watch, So thank you to all for the pics and updates. Not really computer literate so unable to carry out complicated tasks. So thanks again.
Have just seen both chicks on nest and an intruder about as lady mantling and making a fuss.
Both chicks looking content so have obviously been fed. like others I have been concerned about No 2. but he/she is looking good . Lady still on guard as I write.
Unknown said: Just recorded 8 mins of all 3 on the nest as there wont be many more scenes like that now:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig2Ll6RP6Zk

Thanks Alan for the above one to save in case we don't see Lady again,

Monring Emma Peel and glad you managed to see Lady and she is looking well and also younger chick had a whole fish to itself. They seem a little worried at LOtL that it is not getting enough to eat and hope the eldest will take fish away to eat on a perch thus leaving the smaller one in the nest and more likely to get a fish.
Goodf morning Sandra and thanks for the wonderful pictures and great to read that chick 2 has had its own fish today and from reading the diary it has one all of its own yesterday.
