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.

Bob#1-to-be is still keeping its bottie warm and dry:

I'm just not sure what's going on but the little one is not yet completely out of the shell and it does look as tho something's preventing the shell from coming off.
So far:
NC0 is knackered, if I may be so indelicate:
This creepy-crawly had just crawled onto NC0's feathers it then spent at least half an hour weaving in and out:
02:12 still in shell - I do wish that Osprey mamas were more proactive in these circs:
Lots of buffering going on, reverted to daycam till I noticed and reset it

It's been buffering>daycam the whole time since I posted that but it may have just settled. We won't know until someone comes on duty and gives us a signal ;)
NC0 is sleeping for now.
