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.
IMAGICAT
I noticed there was a crack going round the central part of the egg and movement in the opening at the bottom (and top) of it

Enjoy your meal, Scylla, and thank you for your coverage
I don't think it will be too much longer until chick #2 hatches. Goodnight
Hatch #2 on 20 May @ 01:18+++
My daycam arrived blurry and buffery - here's a poop out of the melee:
I'm just having a look thru much-neglected Dyfi but no doubt "one of us" will find treasures from rollback if necessary.
Hasty live snaps between the buffers:
Good morning Scylla Fabulous news to wake up to - many thanks for your hatch video! 6:48 Laddie is standing guard over the two bobs, with a headless fish. NC0 left the nest for a comfort break
I hope the empty shell comes off the end of the 3rd egg...
