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.

Thanks for the updates, Billy and Richard :) 15:37 Distant chipping heard
15:39 NC0 chipping/alarm calling
Eggs have been unattended for the past 13 minutes or so (since just before 17:30)
Laddie had come to the nest and NC0 flew off. Laddie found a piece of fish close to the middle of the nest cup and took off with it
17:46 Scene at present

NC0 had flown in bringing the remainder of her fish, she ate some on the nest while waiting for Laddie to leave.

She was watching someone above and around but nothing came of it (I've only got to the end of a session @ 16:00).

I saw her fly over towards the birch area but didn't see where she went after that. I don't think she's there at the moment?
I've just checked the footage of her leaving, she did land on top of the centre branch of the birch. Hopefully she's still there and knows that the eggs are alone
