LM12 at Loch of the Lowes has just brought in a fish, minus the head. NC0 took the fish and is feeding the chick. He must have recovered from whatever was bothering him. Egg no.2 must be near hatching.

Loch of the Lowes

Looks like the 2nd chick to hatch came from the 3rd egg. 1st chick to hatch came from the 2nd egg laid. !st egg laid (4 April) probably won't hatch.

Still no chick at Loch Arkaig. Going by the date laid and incubation period, the first egg laid will be due to hatch on Friday 26 May. Here's hoping.
