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...

Sandra P said:I still had the continued streaming without an 'offline break', as reported by Scylla
I've got it too but I did check the YT channel at the time and there was no Live thumbnail.
I'm supposed to be doing a little vid of her zoom but just can't manage at the mo - see ya later after a break.
IMAGICAT
I've noticed that the cam, periodically, 'cuts off' and I need to refresh then click 'live' to get it back to the present time, perhaps that's what happened earlier today?
See you soon, Scylla!

17:15 NC0 dipped her talons in the Loch before flying around the birch corner then finally landed on her diving branch
That’s so good to have the date and time back.
18:01 Cam had zoomed in to show NC0 with a little friend on the perch keeping her company

Do you know what it is?
A Mistle Thrush, Billy?
