Female (LF15) hasn't been seen at Loch of the Lowes since Friday 12 August. Looks like she is on her way south.

Great view at Loch of the Lowes. Part of the nest and a spectacular view over the loch. Picture quality is superb.

Just had a look now, peregrine - yes, fabulous view and quality even though it looks like it's raining - it's probably just mist/damp really :laugh:

There's been a 'crow' busy on the nest :)

Lots of crow activity at Loch of the Lowes. LM12 and the chick have been defending the nest and chasing off the crows.

Last chick has left Loch of the Lowes. The male (LM12) hasn't been seen since yesterday morning so could be on his way south. Well that is another Osprey season over. Wish all our birds a safe journey south.

Wonder when they will turn the cam onto the feeders or whatever this year.
