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.
On the LOTL blog, some intruder on the nest. Alison did a video of it.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Hi Lynette.
Heck, cam has gone off now.
I am going now.
I hope someone will report if there is a fish delivery :-)
Bye.

Looks as though an intruder is about, chick lying low in the nest.

I don't know whether you are all aware but on the main SWT blog there are odes to the chicks, The Blog, and The Branch, by different folk. Amusing and moving is what you could say.
Lynette and Sandra thanks for the pics will say goodbye myself now as I really had better do something about OH's dinner, can't say I feel very hungry myself. Might get back on later depends how I feel.
ONE DAY SOON
One day soon… we’ll be alone on this sweet Loch of Lowes,For Mum and Dad will have flown on, they knew just when to go.
One day soon… we’ll feel the pull of places we don’t know.I’ll leave you then, tho unsure why… someplace where we must grow.
One day soon… you’ll call to me, but you won’t find me near.But don’t despair, my bonny chum, you’ll follow soon…no fear!
One day soon… we’ll all be yonder, in a land of ease,And mayhap we’ll share a nest, or maybe just a tree.
One day soon… the lure of home will wing us back o’er pines,We’ll all be back in Scotland, where we’ll begin new lines!
One day soon… our Mum and Dad will look up from our nest—They’ll call to us a welcome home, to where we love the best!
One day soon…it may be clear, tho paths divergent go,We always had the best of times on lovely Loch of Lowes!

Ode to the blog
You call me the blog it’s not very flatteringFrom around the world you gather here chatteringYou all talk about a family so dearThat is really not to far from me hereSo many replies from the osprey teamWho are all just the absolute creamYou push your button’s and I respondEven as far as from over the pondSo many questions have been carefully typedPhoto’s and clips are becoming the hypeI am scrolled up and down getting giddyYour cursor submitting another dittyI have only the one request to logWhy oh why was I called the blog
This was by jan from the main SWT blog - thought it quite amusing.
