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...

It's not looking promising for Laddie returning, he's getting pretty late now.
Hopefully as more return she will find herself a new partner if he doesn't show soon

I'm biding my time, Jill, we seem to be morphing bit by bit. I'd be alarmed if I thought it was going to stay like this.
I have just looked at previous recordings, he has been as late as 29th (2018) and 30th March (2012), so time yet.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
