2023 return dates: NC0(16) - 17.3.23 (07:43) Laddie (LM12) - 17.3.23 (13:43)
Well, what an end the 2023 season turned out to be! Who can forget the battle for the nest between both juveniles, PF4(F) & PF5(M), and then to see the total domination and aggression by the eldest when 'owning' the nest, not only to her sibling but also to dear Laddie when he provided her with fish. The season synopsis can be read in the final LotL Osprey Diary here. Did NC0 leave early to undertake her southerly migration on the 15th July, or could there have been another reason for her not to be seen on the webcam or around the reserve?
We wait in anticipation for Laddie and NC0's safe return to Loch of the Lowes. Let us very much hope for a 'fraught-free' 2024 season...

I've posted in Tech Test.
Richard, I'm on a laptop too. Have you got the 'upload' showing? It is quite faint
What an Idiot I am , I thought I had clicked on it and nothing happened. I just clicked on it again and I then had the option to pick an image from my library, you have sorted me out.
Very many thanks Sandra, it's all working now
That is unbelievable, so early. NC0 is that really you? Oh I really hope so. You look very comfortable on the nest. ️
You're very welcome, Richard!
Great to see NC0 back this evening
