LOCH OF THE LOWES OSPREY, SCOTLAND 2023

Traditionally, March is the month our ospreys return to their nest in the sturdy scots pine beside Lowes. Last year, LM12 (our resident male) flew in on 13th March, followed on 23rd March by his mate since 2020, ringed NC0. When will they arrive this year? Eyes to the skies everyone, this is a wonderful month to spot birds making their way to breeding grounds.

We are delighted to announce that the first chick of the season hatched at 11:59 this morning. It emerged fully from its shell some minutes later at 12:11 and has been enjoying beautiful sunshine in the nest, couried in under its mother NC0.

Both osprey chicks have now fledged from their nest at our Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve and Visitor Centre in Dunkeld.

Young female osprey PF4 took to the skies for her maiden flight around the stunning Perthshire loch on Sunday 9 July at 10:07am. Taking a courageous leap from her large nest she landed back safely on it a few minutes later.

Not to be outdone by his elder sister, young male osprey 'Blue PF5' took to the skies aged 59 days, on Thursday morning at 9:47am. After several weeks of wingsercise, (flapping, jumping, helicoptering and squealing), the young lad made the leap from the perch into the sky.
