All is well at Loch of the Lowes. Windy today and Lassie doing well sheltering the chicks. Remains of a large fish on the nest. Presume the kids will get it when they wake up.

Great view of the chicks at the moment. All three lying in the nest cup with Lassie standing behind them.

Chicks are thriving and growing fast. Looks like they are in their prehistoric (Dinosaur) stage.

Chicks ringed on 28 June. Two had transmitters attached. Some great pics of the event.

One of the chicks has a fish and tucking in. Doing a grand job at feeding itself.

Two chicks fledged on Sunday 12/7/15.

FR3 @ 4.24pm
FR2 @ 5.36pm


FR4 is showing signs of wanting to fledge, maybe anytime now.

Looks like at least two of the chicks can feed themselves once a fish is brought to the nest.
