Cam at Loch of the Lowes is looking over the nest and loch. The quality and definition are superb.

All our birds are still here. None have started migration yet.

Lady hasn't been seen at Loch of the Lowes since Monday past. Looks like she is on her way to Africa.

Yes Lady is on her way. It she makes it back next year it will be her 25th year at Loch of the Lowes, remarkable.

Two birds on the nest. Our male plus an intruder (female). Intruders was ringed and fledged from Dornoch in 2012. Lowes staff surprised by the number of two year old birds that come back. They don't breed their first time back in the UK.

Looks like Ej could be gone shortly. She is showing all signs of pre-migration, i.e. bringing in extra fish for the chicks. She will be away soon.

No news of EJ having left. Chicks appear to be fishing. Cannot confirm if they are successful as they don't come back to the nest with their catch.

Looks like EJ is heading south. Hasn't been seen since she brought two fish to the nest on Monday. Bon voyage hen.
