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.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

According to me, there was no view of the eggs beteen 15:40 and 15:55, NC0 didn't get up

That's the first sighting I can find - we differ by a minute, we won't worry about that

Lol, Richard!

You won't be surprised that I can't ID those pips, RICHARD - applies, pears, or ??? Just not oranges or lemons, that's for sure.
"Just before 1pm" was when I took my parting shots and I watched NC0 kindly moving straw out of our way - looking back, I can't see a pip-hole but that's not surprising.
I wonder if there will be someone on duty tonight? We shall see.
Osplet cheeping, eggtooth seen - not sure that my crop is a success, it's not really HD enough for it:
21:51 Egg has split, babe can be seen :)
