2019 season summary: Laddie (LM12) arrived back from migration on Friday 15th March; Lassie (LM15) on Saturday 23rd March. Lassie laid 3 eggs on 4th, 7th and 10th April, hatching 11th, 12th and 16th May. Sadly, on 26th May the third chick died. The remaining two chicks were ringed on 26th June as follows: #1 Blue PT4 (M)* #2 Blue PT5 (M)*. They successfully fledged and subsequently set off for their first migration on 14th/15th August. Laddie left around the same time as the youngsters and it is thought that Lassie had already started her journey south approximately 2 weeks prior.

Both Ospreys (unringed) have been a breeding pair on this nest since 2015, after the iconic 'Lady' failed to return.

I've now set up Glaslyn to screen-capture on the noo laptop ;) ... ...
And the RSPB system is telling me I don't have permission to delete this, hence a hasty edit - thanks MIKE.

Hi Scylla, your last two posts should be on the Glaslyn thread... ;)
Edit - SNAP Starling! lol
14:49 Lots of loud osprey chirps/calls, Laddie not on the nest!
14:52 Just the usual sounds of the Loch now
Even tho I appear not to have got up 'n running fully today, I have to take a break. I hope I can contribute later. Laddie just landed, either with or on top of a clump ;) Oh, and there was a chirp ;)
Still no break here but one is now very imminent !!! I will later have a run-thru of Laddie's day, for anything special/different....
In the morning I hope to see a Mary-Special of Laddie's Lovely Layout ;)
