Loch of the Lowes, Scotland

Another sad news from an UK-ospreys nest:
The youngest chick was struggling and it sadly died early this morning.

Just not fair, is it? I am sorry for them, as they are great parents.

This may is dreadful & cold with torrential rain! Lot's of UK bird nests are struggeling with those bad conditions...

NC0 is a young and unexperienced female, let's hope she & Laddie manage to raise up their 2 offsprings successfully.

Meet our newly ringed osprey chicks LR1 and LR2

Tuesday dawned bright and sunny, with little to no wind – the perfect day to ring our two rapidly growing chicks.

The first chick to hatch (36 days old on the day of ringing) and a visibly larger youngster was ringed as Blue LR1 and sexed as a female osprey, with a wing measurement of 337mm and weight 1.51kg. The second chick (33 days old) was ringed as Blue LR2, sexed as a male and with a wing measurement of 276mm and weight 1.4kg.

Loch of the Lowes, Scotland: First Osprey Chick LR1 Fledges
We have lift off!

It has been an exciting time here at Loch of the Lowes, watching our two Osprey chicks hatch and grow over the last couple of months. From atching them start to flap their wings, learn to feed themselves in the nest and yesterday, 9th July, our first chick, female LR1 took her maiden flight for the first time!

After a morning of intense flapping by both young osplets, and showing off her ‘helicoptering skills’ to NC0, LR1 too the leap at 17:01. Her departure from the nest gave her brother LR2 a bit of a fright, who ‘pancaked in defense’, but it wasn’t long before she returned to the nest a minute later
with a slightly ungainly landing, closely followed by her mum who landed on top of the camera.

LR2 is having good flapping sessions but no height, It isn't the weather for LR2 to take his first flight...
