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.

19:15 Fish delivery. It was still alive and flapped into the nest cup
Both chicks are ok after that ordeal and are enjoying their meal
Two very full chicks and once again, NC0 was trying to tempt them with more even though they'd turned away
19:45 Laddie collected, and flew off with, his share of the fish
19:59 Laddie returned the remainder of the fish
"If you insist, mum..."
Laddie's back again and tackling the fish remains - NC0 is not amused
20:32 Laddie flown; NC0 offered fish to the chicks, #1 is having some bites, #2 not interested at the moment
20:37 Fish now all gone. NC0 off for a break but soon returned to the nest to brood her growing chicks
21:55 A headless fish delivery! Both chicks up for supper
