2021 return dates: LM12 (Laddie) - 21st March; NC0(16) - 25th March
Laddie and NC0 were an exceptional team during 2021, successfully raising two very feisty and well fed juveniles, LR1 and LR2. LR2 was sighted in Southern Spain on 3.9.21 and again on 25.10.21
2022 marks Laddie's 11th breeding year, NC0's 3rd, and very much hope that our wonderful pair have a safe, spring migration back to this stunning nest location at Loch of the Lowes.

Geemeff said:18.40 bats to the left, bats to the right - dozens of them!
I'd have dismissed them as midgy things - thanks, GEEMEFF.
IMAGICAT
14.55 three Ospreys on the nest!
It was definitely an unringed intruder
Quite determined intruder, is seen off by NC0, returns, and is seen off by Laddie. At least, I think that's the sequence. Lots of wing action, lasts about 10 minutes from 14.55 to 15.05 -ish (where's the clock?!)
Many thanks for the video and pics, Geemeff
Too pale to be the same intruder as yesterday? (NC0 on the left)
