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.

Osplet has just been left alone on the nest... ... ...
OK, NC0 returned.

She wasn't gone for very long, thankfully.

NC0 took a comfort break - this is a very vocal osplet

It takes after its mother! lol
Thank you, Scylla for the vids and snaps
FISH !!! !!! !!! Quite a small one, but perfectly formed ;)
EDIT:
NC0 has flown again - it scares me, I thought I heard corvids just now. OK, she's back, or it might be Laddie... but he wouldn't brood, would he?
Major pip in egg #2
