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.

I've scrolled back to when LP8 left the birch - it was at 12:15. There was a sound of a light aircraft flying over while LP8 was on the perch
LP8 took flight as soon as the plane was almost out of earshot (reflection shown in the pic as well)
A low flight over the Loch
LP8 swerved
At this point, I thought LP8 was heading towards the nest..
...but instead, turned off to the right and could be seen flying low behind the gaps in the trees (Loch side) on the right-hand side. No sighting after that
Scene at 20:25. No Ospreys on the birch
Laddie, LP8 and LR0 have not been seen (or heard) at the nest since I last reported the same...

There was no one roosting on the birch before night cam came on at 21:05
Morning all,
No Osprey activity seen on scroll back...
Last sightings (from my observations only):
8:05 I'm sure I heard an Osprey calling in the distance (I have my sound turned up to max on both the webcam and my laptop)

Oh I'm so cross! Somehow YouTube had gone muted so I've got no sound on my screen-capture with timeline - and I'll never find it on the download
IMAGICAT
Oh please don't worry, Scylla, there were only a few short calls and very far in the distance - no Osprey was seen
Sandra P said:Oh please don't worry, Scylla
Oh but you know I have to, Sandra
Now then! What I've done is amplify 2 one-second snatches in between the little bird's chirps (and I know I should know the little bird). As you say, very distant but it's there and you (anybody) won't miss it:
Oh my goodness, Scylla, how fantastic that you managed to find it! You're amazing
Well done Scylla - Sandra, that’s amazing you heard it in the first place! Scylla, if you’re still around, would you mind doing me a wee video for Brenig please? The juvenile X6/Olwen did her first dive that I’ve seen on camera this morning around 8am. I’ve not got the skills to do videos!
Sandra - apologies for hijacking this site!

************Just found out that Bart has taken a video Scylla and posted it on Brenig. Apologies if you’ve made one too, if you haven’t, there’s no need unless you want it for your you tube site. Many thanks
