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.

This is amazing.

Just noticed this from Peter at LOTL, earlier today in the blog:
"For those of you who are new to ospreys, these birds get all they need from their food, including water so she will not get the urge to leave the nest for a drink."
Famous last words!
You must have heard my shouting, all the way across to the USA!!!
Was that you shouting Lindybird! I thought it was a neighbor. :-)))
I know we still have to be cautious and not get too excited (where did I put those smelling salts!) but my heart has lifted inside me....

Ospreys have been known to take a drink before now.

My thoughts exactly !!
I guess the center learned one more thing about Ospreys . They will go just for water.
Tiger, its great having the benefit of all your knowledge. It made sense to me, that she should go down to the lake, but that she had the strength to then return to the nest shows how much stronger she is feeling now.
Thankfully she has made her way back onto the nest! Thought we mightn't ever see her again!
Thanks Tiger your knowledge very valuable and appreciated !!
Now let's see if she eats the next time the Laird brings a fish.
Oh my. What a morning. Can't get to the LOTL blog (on their site) at all, but do have the cam back. Not sure I'll get much of anything done today - but who cares!
Thanks Tiger - as always, every comment tells us something new.
