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.

You saved me typing those very words
I haven't got anything for all day until I surfaced again - when I found the cam on 360p
At the time I packed up NC0 was feeding the chick @ 100mph, and she's just done the same. From a bit earlier - this big morsel went down (lots of others went flying )
Looking a bit grainy?
Babe was lifted up on a couple of occasions when it had hold of some fish in its beak and NC0 pulled away, poor little mite tumbled into the nest cup, one time rolling onto its back!
I think she needs to slow down...

Laddie needs to deliver bigger fish. Little one did eat some sizeable chunks before NC0 swallowed the remainder of the fish. While cleaning up, she gave bob a piece of fish that it hadn't swallowed before she settled to brood/incubate.
Laddie made a brief visit at 17:35ish
Laddie delivered a headless fish just before 18:30
NC0 swallowed the fish tail. Bob ate quite well on this sitting!
Rainbow - just a little bit of one:
19:19 A rainbow
SNAP, Scylla! lol
Osplet has just been left alone on the nest... ... ...
OK, NC0 returned.
