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.
Its really wiindy again, chicks look as though they are having difficulty keeping upright when they exercise their wings.

Lady looks even more alert than she did yesterday and has just been having a good preen. Seems to be moving roung the nest more easily too.

Lady now attending to the housework and shifting sticks around and probably wondering why things are not where they should be after several days of illness.
Laird has delivered a fish which Lady has taken and now going to feed the chicks and herself hopefully.
She looks much more "with it" this time - and not staggering so much.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
That's a big fish. She does look more 'with it' doesn't she? More steady in her movements and a bit more like the Lady from a few days ago.
must have been a fish delivery whilst I was away from my laptop. Lady is feeding the chicks and it looks a fairly large one. One is taking food, other not interested at the moment.
Lindybird it is just wonderful to watch her doing something we never thought she would do again. Tearing the fish into bits and putting it in the chicks beak. I will never get over this miracle. Lady was obviously not ready to leave us.
Lady feeding both chicks now just absolute joy.
Now both chicks are feeding from mum.
