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.
Good "morning". This is my first port of call, not sure to be glad or sad I haven't missed a hatch
The stream has been dropping out again - all the blue ones are LoTL, and as you can see the others are uninterrupted so it's not my internet:

Thanks Wendy. Laddie delivered a fish just after 17:45 while LotL had the cam on zoom. There were excellent views of all three eggs (as well as both NC0 and Laddie!)

Thank you, Scylla!
The top area of the egg, back right, is the one Wendy and Catlady mentioned a little earlier
Possibly just the 'marbling'?
NC0 returned to the nest to relieve Laddie at 19:00ish. She brought in a small stick which ended up close to the eggs. She moved it to the left side out of harms way before incubating.
Scene at 20:05
21:25 NC0 is being very vocal and has been for a little while
