LOCH OF THE LOWES – MAY 2019

Could someone please have a scroll back and see what they think she was feeding them before she flew off briefly at 4.45 just after day cam kicked in?

Lassie trying her best to cover her brood, lovely squeaks from them.

Just reading a few of your posts now, how terribly sad that one of the chicks has died.   

Following ospreys is not easy, and no matter how many years we do it, this will be my 9th year, the loss of each and every one of them, adult or chick it never ceases to strike like a blow to the stomach, every loss is heartbreaking. 

Same view as Mary

Hi Mary, welcome back, Patily and all.
A sad morning.

I saw the news last night but couldn't post for there just wasn't anything to write to express how shocked and saddened I was about this sudden, unexpected tragedy. Gutted :-(

There’s a video up on Facebook in the Loch Arkaig group. Sadly, Bob 3 ended up being fed to Bobs 1 & 2.

Thanks. Yes I scrolled back and saw it all for myself. Nature red in tooth and claw.

Hello everyone, never nice to loose a little chick and very sad.  I was so sure that he/she was going to grow big too, as was very fiesty and getting enough food.. I did a scroll back and saw Lassie first move the chick at around 1 AM in the morning.    Alas it is just as well that we don't know what lies ahead in the day to day life of ospreys!!   Captured a wee visitor,  just to lighten the mood a tad

Not sure what is on cam lens ?  Butterfly , Moth?  any guesses? 

So sad, it doesn't get any easier to cope with.
