So, we now enter August knowing that we will only have the pleasure of watching this beautiful family all together for a limited number of weeks.Both LP8 and LR0 have transformed into two strong, independent individuals. Their attentive parents have continued to provide for and nurture them and this, in turn, has given the juveniles a basis to continue their growth into full adulthood, wherever they decide to settle during the next couple of years.Last season, NC0 began her southerly migration on the 22nd August; Laddie on the 25th (these dates were their last webcam sightings). We can only hope that all of the 2022 family have safe, unhindered journeys to warmer climes, aided by fair winds as well as an abundance of fish along the way, and that we will welcome Laddie and NC0 back to this stunning Loch of the Lowes location in the spring of 2023.

Sandra P said:A bird appeared from beyond the birch corner, flying very quickly, low across the Loch. I could see flashes of white
I saw similar yesterday, but in the opposite direction.

Hi Patily From my webcam observations, Laddie was last seen (on the nest after delivering a fish) on the 26th at 16:35. LR0 on the 27th at 10:48 (flying from the cam post, high over the birch area and off around the corner) and LP8 on the 27th at 12:15 (flying off to the right from the birch and across the Loch). Of course, the Lowes team may have seen them all after those given dates and times, still awaiting confirmation.
NC0 was last seen (on the nest) at 6:01 on the 11th August - this date has been confirmed by LotL.

My last service for the season? Its purpose is to inform YouTubers:
(1) Am very ditzy-headed, if there are typos/errors I'll delete it;
(2) The final snap is your intro to the season, SANDRA, cropped etc - permission not requested cos you've gone to bed
All we need now is for Laddie to do an Axel
Morning all
Aww, what a lovely surprise to see your vid! Haha, no permission needed, Scylla!
Still waiting for 'last seen' confirmation times/dates from Lowes
