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 have been trying for a while but still can't get a picture.
At last, I have a picture and the nest is empty !
Both chicks sitting quietly on the nest now.
Looking in for the first time today and a chick is on the nest.

Looks quite windy here
Chick 2 just landed and now chick1 just left.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Both gone now.
Evening everyone. Just looking in and younger chick is on nest. Glorious day here. Of to catch up with day's events. Back soon.
Good evening Sandra and Brenda H.
I am worried for Lady too as she was so ill earlier and that must have taken a lot out of her. If she is to migrate I hope she will delay a bit longer than she usually does. She has still done a marvellous job though bring up yet another 2 youngsters with the Laird's help of course. I don't think I will forget that terrible sight that we saw that morning and she has amazed everyone with her will to live and see her two youngster fledge.

Hi everyone. I too would like to see Lady migrate later in the season with more fat reserves built up. The experts don't always get it right so perhaps she will but I believe she will go when she feels ready. After 20plus migrations we must rely on her to know when the time is right. Having said that, we must also accept that she is elderly now and every day could be her last so perhaps we should applaud her success and be grateful for each day she spends in Scotland. After such angst earlier this year I am always glad to log on and see a 'normal' scene. Now there is a youngster making a lot of noise on the nest apparently 'talking' to an osprey nearby. Looks nice at LOTL if a little breezy. Must read back and see whats been happening today.
