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 think Lady has chased the intruder off.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Lady is back and mantling.
I have to go.
Bye.
Looking in to see what's happening. Great pics Sandra as usual. See you later
One chick on the nest with egg that is no more. One chick flew off.

Good morning Sandra and Lynette. Thanks for all the pics and they are just amazing especially the ones of the youngster with two fish. I feel much happier for the youngest one now as it is making up for lost time and has at long last become a bit braver where fish are concerned.
As I type our beautiful Lady is on the nest surveying her home and perhaps taking it all in before she leaves us. What a sad day that is going to be. They have mentioned on the diary that they would like people to let them know when they see Lady as they think it will not be long before she decides to go.
Have a good day.

Just looked in again to find two chicks on the nest shouting away, now only one unless one is out of view of the cam.

Thank you watcher 2
Thanks for the pic Lynette there were two as you say and not sure if the other one has flown off now.
That video of the chick flying low over the Loch was wonderful. what instinct these wonderful birds have.
Looks like there's been an intruder alert, one chick flat on the nest.
Chick 1. There has been a lot of intruders about these last few days.
