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.
Sandra: I've only seen one delivered; have had the cam on and not been too distracted. There was a bird on the nest, very briefly, earlier but it didn't stick around. Then the nest was empty until Laird arrived a few moments ago.
Chick has left the nest and I'm about to fly off too. Take care all and have a good Thursday.
Laird brought a fish in at 8am and all hell broke loose. I took a pic and when I looked again the nest was empty!. The two chicks came back to the nest fishless!! :-(
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
They've changed the camera now and chick 1 is waiting.
Intruders about.
2 chicks playing dead and Lady has just flown in.
I think she has just chased it off.
And she's back and mantling.
I am going now.
Sandra many thanks for the pics and was pleased to see mention of a fish for youngest one. At LOtL they are wishing that it would be a bit more assertive when a fish is around. It always makes me sad when I see it watching the eldtest one eat. Perhaps he will take the fish to a tree and then if another comes in the youngster will get it. Have a good day.

Chick just flew in with a live fish and just flew off with it. I think intruders are still aound.
