Our first chick has hatched
Our osprey pair have been signalling for several days that the eggs were going to hatch soon and so we were delighted when we caught a glimpse of the first chick of season at around 8:30 am.
It took a while to get a good look at this chick but we have seen it receive some food (possibly a salmon) from LF15 after LM12 brought it into the nest. He’ll have to keep those fish coming over the next few weeks!
All being well we will have a full clutch of eggs by the end of the week. The best way to see what’s happening is to visit Loch of the Lowes or keep your eyes on our live osprey webcam.
