Link to previous thread: Loch of the Lowes - May 2019
The season so far: LM12 (Laddie) arrived back 15 March and LF15 (Lassie) on 23 March. Lassie laid 3 eggs on 4, 7 and 10 April hatching 11, 12 and 16 May. Sadly on 26 May tragedy struck and the third chick died. Laddie and Lassie continue to work hard to raise their young and Laddie is once more proving to be an excellent provider bringing in plenty of fish to feed his family.

Today's Blog
I was 50% right! lol
Thanks Sandra - lovely blog and a huge hello to PT4 and PT5. And 50% isn't bad, much better than if you had guessed two girls :-D But keeping an eye on the season's stats, so far it is 50/50 as two boys here, two girls at Glaslyn and two of each at Manton Bay.
19:23 A fish for the boys, and Lassie of course

It's good to have the official version, and the photos of Keith Brockie. Super photo!
An interesting point
"This year Dyfi Osprey Centre and Aberystwyth University are gathering material to profile the genetic diversity of Britain’s osprey population. Our young ospreys donated a few of their smallest feathers for genetic testing, and it will be interesting to see if indeed they do turn out to be two males. You can read more about the planned genetic testing in a series of blogs here."
