Last month, we saw all three chicks hatch but unfortunately, the third one very sadly passed away after surviving for just over two full days. Laddie and NC0 continue to nurture their two remaining chicks. Long may the good weather, as well as Laddie’s effective hunting, persist so we can continue to watch these wonderful osplets thrive.
19:26 An intruder is definitely around

NC0 flew from the nest around 19:35 Chipping/alarm calling heard 19:42
19:48 Looking up to mum while she was alarm calling
I'm assuming it is NC0 who is above the cam. I can't see that Laddie has been back to the nest, when quickly scrolling through, since the cam came back online
19:55 NC0 back to the nest, alarm calling
Something came close
19:56 She left again
20:02 She's back. I can hear distant chipping, hopefully it's Laddie to help defend the area
20:18 It has been calmer at the nest since my last post with NC0 fish calling, and the chicks mimicking her! lol
20:20 Laddie with a headless fish!
NC0 stopped the feed, mantled/flapped/chipped. A chase going on over the Loch
The chase passed the left side of the nest
20:22 The feed continued
Loch of the Lowes just now, at 22.57 calm as a mill pond
