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.

Thank you so very much for the vid,Scylla!!!!! I don't think I've seen Laddie so 'disturbed' before yesterday's episode. You're a star!

It was a lovely sized headless fish too - first of the day from what I can tell

I'm on the 'live' LotL Zoom Webinar presentation at the moment
This was NC0 on the feeding post a short time ago (19:13)
Oh that's a shame, Glider. Yes, it's been recorded so you'll be able to watch the whole 2 hours 10 minutes. Fascinating to see the area up close as well as some other wildlife - amazing! NC0 was still on the birch eating some more of the fish at the end of the webinar - it's been over 5 hours since she took it there after Laddie's delivery!
21:08
NC0 returned to the nest at 21:29. She still had the tail end of the 15:57 fish delivery in her left talons.
Laddie was quick to get up and flapped his wings before leaving the nest. He headed to the birch.
NC0 took the fish into the nest cup with her as she settled to incubate the eggs.
Glad you enjoyed the webinar Sandra, such a historical place for ospreys. Great you got to hear about the other wildlife too. When you sent the photo of NCO, I picked it up at around 8pm and checked the live cam and sure enough she was still there in the distance on the dead birch. Laddie got a wee bit unsettled and started quietly chirping a bit whilst still sitting on the eggs. I remember a very noisy motorbike going by too. He got up and moved the eggs and sat down again. Little did he know he was there for a 5 hour shift!! He also flew off at one point for about a minute then returned to his eggs. I think next fish will be a tiddler again to get her back quicker. haha
7.30pm (ish) Laddie returns to the nest after stretching his wings with a quick fly around.
Good morning,
Glider, thank you for your reports yesterday evening!
Laddie came to the nest at 4:43
He gave NC0 a slight foot tap to make her rise from the eggs
The fish tail was still next to the eggs
6:12ish Laddie stood up and found the fish
Transferred it into his left talons and flew off
The eggs were alone for a short time before NC0 flew from the birch to the nest
7:34 Laddie to the nest having eaten the fish
She headed off to the birch
7:50 Laddie
