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.

20:05 NC0 took a quick break. There was an emergency vehicle siren sounding off in the distance but she wasn't bothered by that at all
A quick stretch
So scenic
I was just checking back on the footage as I was curious as to when Laddie was last at the nest - he spent around 5 minutes there from around 17:45, 'on guard' alone for a few of them, while NC0 was away
He made some sweet contact calls
NC0 appeared from the right and headed towards the birch area
She returned with a stick a short time after
He flew to the right, behind the trees, after this capture
