First seen yesterday (14th) morning around 7am. Happier event than last year.

Shouldn't be long before Loch of the Lowes has their first chick.

EJ's second chick could hatch any time now.

Still no news from Loch of the Lowes.

Both nests have two chicks each. Looks like second egg at Loch Garten may not be viable.

Chicks at Loch Garten are from the first and third eggs. Second didn't hatch. First chick is quite a size now as development continues through the various stages.

looks like Loch of the Lowes chicks have just been fed. Youngest chick appears to want more.

Haven't been on for a couple of days. Chicks at both sites are growing fast.
