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.
Just wonderful pics Sandra - wonderful.
Well caught Lynette!
Good morning all and thanks so much to Sandra and Lynette for some wonderful captures. What a thrill to read that the second chick has taken it's first flight. Wonderful too that Lady was here to see it. there was a time when we thought we would not see this. Lady is just amazing and mustn't forget the Laird ether for being such a great provider.

It looks as if mum and the two young ones are on the nest and Laird is in the distance on one of his trees.
Certainly some shouting going on.

Lady must be able to see Laird as she is shouting away, probably for some food.
It looks like all three are waiting impatiently on the nest and Laird is just hanging out on his tree.
It looks as if first hatched has a tree all of its own too !
Or was that the Laird the camera was following?
Chick 2 has just taken off again and is back. Well done.
A lovely family scene, the youngsters have been tackling the fish themselves whilst Lady keeps an eye on things.

Such a lovely picture Lynette I wondered whether they were sharing.
Lady has been shouting, there could be an intruder about as she seems to be mantling at times.
