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.
10:35(ish) NC0 returned
It was a bit of a messy change over, she couldn't wait to settle onto the eggs - Laddie stumbled

Cam zoomed in on NC0 at around 13:15
A selection of captures (very much spoiled for choice)
13:33 Laddie delivered a fish!
15:14 Laddie chipping while on duty. He stood up (I thought he was going to leave the eggs again) but thankfully, he settled back down
Egg nearest Laddie's legs looked a bit 'dented' in one of the zoomed shots?? Wishful thinking maybe?

NC0 returned just before 15:50, both looked skyward but not chipping

6th picture down (5th on the zoomed shots), front right egg, Wendy?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
