Just as we had hoped, the middle of May proved to be a wonderful time with three successful hatches. Laddie, with his prolific fishing skills, is providing extremely well for his family and NC0’s attentive feeding for all three Osplets, is an absolute joy to watch! Let's hope everything continues to go well.

First Test Of The Wings (Loch of the Lowes Osprey Webcam 2022)
22:16 NC0 is fish shouting. Perhaps Laddie is de-heading a fish somewhere in the birch area? I can't find him on the branches of the birch
22:27 Laddie flew from the low area of the birch to deliver a headless fish (#7)
NC0 with it here
