Arrival dates: Laddie - 21st March NC0 - 25th March
Three eggs laid:

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.
#3 heard clucking? There's a fuzzy coloured bit on the end, maybe some separation ??? ??? ???

He stayed less than a minute, probably because NC0 was loudly telling him to go fishing:
Wow, what a difference a day makes

Ultra-tiddler from Laddie - the bigguns must have gone down deep this past couple of days:
No sign of any pip - but I could have sworn I heard clucking earlier, it might be in a vid - or not.
Another feed started just before 07:00 - I'm running down now:

Good morning all. What a difference in the weather as Richard stated
Many thanks for the updates. Day 35 for egg #3
Yes Scylla, it appears to me (in your pic) that the pointy tip of egg #2's shell has come off egg #3. Hopefully it is beginning to break down - more shimmying needed from NC0!
A busy day for me but will try to pop on when I can
I've been doing other nests but NC0 just caught my eye when she was zoomed in on, zonked out - and she opened her eyes just as I snapped her:
EDIT - that could have been from last evening, just before nightcam - on checking back now I see that shortly after my screen went to nightcam. I can't trust this cam!
That's more like it...what a fish from Laddie, headless too! (around 12:25)
