Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....

Not 100% sure nuthatch. None tried to solicite food from the other so I think they were both adults.

Re: Ospreys

Lady is still sitting on her eggs (the two that are left anyway). Below how long the birds have been incubating. Not sure which egg was taken by the Carrion Crow.

Egg 1: 66 days since being laid
Egg 2: 63 days since being laid
Egg 3: 60 days since being laid

Re: Purple And Yellow

Does anyone know the name of this flower? It was in a bouquet the wife got for her retirement. I can't say I have seen it before.

First time for many years, a Song Thrush in the garden. Not just one but two. :D :clap: And here they are.

Re: FLEDGLINGS 2014

Saw this in the garden just five minutes ago. First time I have had a Robin chick in the garden. Not the best of pics as taken through the window.

Re: Ospreys

Yes nuthatch, another disappointing year at Loch of the Lowes. Unfortunately Lady is no spring chicken now.

Loch Garten chicks are doing very well and growing quick.

Re: Ospreys

Looks like incubation at Loch of the Lowes is getting less and less. Birds are spending more and more time away from the nest.

Re: Ospreys

I thought incubation had stopped at Loch of the Lowes. There were no birds on the nest a while ago but I see Lady is back incubating now.

Re: Ospreys

Now 61 days since the first egg was laid at Loch of the Lowes. Lady still incubating. She did try to bury the eggs the other day but changed her mind. Its wet there today.

Very wet at Loch Garten too. EJ trying to protect her chicks but they are still getting wet.

Lady and Young Pretender still incubating at Loch of the Lowes. I wonder how long they will continue.
