Link to last post on Loch of the Lowes – April 2018
Summary of the season so far:
LF15/Lassie arrived back 20 March and LM12/Laddie on 29 March. The pair are currently incubating three eggs - #1 laid 14 April, #2 laid 16 April and #3 on 19 April and are due to hatch later this month.

Hello my fellow Ospreyholics
Thanks for all the updates, pictures etc. What joy to see the latest bobblehead. Welcome to the world, my friend.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Nice to see the webcam is zoomed in just now. Lassie is a beautiful Osprey. I saw the chick getting fed earlier this evening but didn't have a chance to post the event at the time. I reckon it was at some point between 21.30 and 22.00.
LoL 2018 No1 chick is definitely a fidgety chick. Poor Lassie hasn't had much peace and rest so far this night. Many shuffles, re-grouping, and re-settling.
Also, quite surprised how quiet the night has been...very little background wildlife noise. Soon be dawn, and no doubt then it will be back to the usual.
I stopped the LOTL downloads because they were flooding in, but now realise I started a different method last night, so I've got this morning's wakeup.
Lassie suddenly woke up and realised she had company:
A glimpse:
Laddie arrives, feetz only - he didn't get much of a look,if any:
Cam zoomed out:
Laddie flew, prompted by Lassie to go fishing:
Lassie looking stern:
IMAGICAT
Good Morning All
Lassie incubating, I thought I would get a glimpse of Bob 1, but alas she is not for budging.

Good morning, MARY (again) :)
I managed to find a sighting - Bob 1 seems to require encouragement to bobble.
Breakfast time, little one eating well.
I should have a video when it's finished. Best not try to interfere while it's going on.
Chick is being very vocal Laddie arrives with fish Lassie telling him off but has not got up to take the fish
Now she has and Laddie flies off
C SWT LoL
