Arrival dates: Laddie - 21st March NC0 - 25th March
Three eggs laid:
11.4.21 (10:18) - NC0 lays an egg
14.4.21 (08:04) - NC0 lays her second egg
17.4.21 (07:41) - NC0 lays her third egg
Hatch dates
Chick #1 - 18.5.21 (37 days) Early hours The first chick has hatched at Loch of the Lowes
Chick #2 - 20.5.21 (36 days) 1:16am The second chick has hatched at Loch of the Lowes
Chick #3 - 22.5.21 (35 days) The third chick has hatched at Loch of the Lowes
25.5.21 - Chick 3 passed away Sad news about our third chick
Absolutely delighted to have watched three precious eggs being laid. Laddie and NC0 have perfected their incubation duties and, through trying times during April, defended them and the nest from multiple intruding Ospreys. Hopefully, it will not be too long until we see three chicks being cared for by their super parents.
23:00 She's now settled

Aww, another surprise gazumped - never mind, I think it's worth a movie
"Laddie gave NC0 an hour's break, she has new removal technique"
IMAGICAT
Good morning Scylla and all
Loved the vid (and your 'comment' within it! lol)
Laddie took over incubation just before 5am
She came back almost an hour later bringing in a small clump of moss
Hopefully, Laddie went off to get breakfish
7:10
7:36 Unringed intruder! It hovered above NC0 and then flew off to the left
Morning Karen, I'd hoped so too!
I think that was its second visit as I found it had bothered NC0 minutes prior to that one (around 7:30)
Just scrolled to see that, Billy!
Yes, there had been a changeover approx. 8:45
The stick on Laddie's back at 9:00ish
He hadn't moved until she came back with a thin stick a while afterwards and NC0 took over incubation
I've not seen any fish being delivered but at present,12:30, she's calling for one
Must be off. BBL
From what I can see scrolling through footage since my last post, NC0 has remained incubating and there hasn't been any fish delivered.
