Hatch dates
Chick #1 - 18.5.21 (37 days) Early hours The first 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

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.
Laddie delivered a fish to NC0 just before 14:30
Cam zoomed to show NC0 on the birch
There have been some absolutely stunning close ups of Laddie!
Thank you to the cam operator!

Lowes zoomed in a couple of times on Laddie before he left the nest, then the eggs
First
Then the second time
Laddie's chest on the right
16:13 Eggs unattended for over 15 minutes now
Yes, thankful for that, Jane.
16:20 Hoping that's NC0 on the birch
16:26 Lowes zoomed in. Osprey on top of the far left branch
It's been over half an hour
She's back 16:50
NC0 flew from the birch heading towards the nest, veered off past on the left and must have landed in the nest tree. She flapped down with something in her left talons (possibly a stick/piece of bark)
It wasn't a stick or piece of bark but the remainder of her fish! lol
Tucking in at 17:20
I don't have sound on but something spooked NCO and she flew and now cam is down. I think there may have been people around
