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.

Laddie delivering a fish supper tonight.

(Evening of 25th)
I've just wasted hours and hours going backwards thru my downloads for the last fish delivery, and done it - only to discover that you (more timely as usual), GEEMEFF, have already done it!
It was difficult to tell if Laddie's bloody foot was superficial or an injury - we sincerely hope the former.
Haste ye back, Laddie and have a lovely puberty, LR2
