As the 2021 Osprey season at Loch of the Lowes enters its final stage, it is reassuring to know how very well LR1 and LR2 are faring in the build-up to their first migration. Laddie (LM12) and NC0 (who, it is thought, will soon start her long journey south) are continuing to provide for, and protect, these wonderful (and loud!), young juveniles. Last month, it was fantastic to see the confidence in both LR1 and LR2 when they took to the sky for the first time, as well as watching them practise their spectacular diving skills into the Loch - sights to behold! With only a short number of precious weeks that we have remaining viewing Laddie, NC0 and their family on the webcam, let us hope everything continues to go well.
Osprey headed to the birch and perched (fine reflexion of one only, not two)
Thanks, Olaf
Latest Blog from LotL with confirmation that NC0 has left on her migration >>>
How do migrating ospreys find their way south?
I can't find any Osprey nest activity at all.

NC0 has left on migration
Awww, thanks Wendy, it's been a pleasure
Snap taken at 21:06 just before night cam came on.
So strange not to see LR2 on his favourite branch of the birch. There haven't been any visits to the nest by him or Laddie today
