AX6 had a surprise waiting for him when he came back to the nest this morning with a fish. Our first chick has hatched!
There has not been a successful fledging from the Loch Garten nest since 2016 so we are chuffed to bits right now and so excited to watch this little one grow. Our new parents have done so well so far, and we are absolutely hoping for every success for them this season!

We've had a second hatch this morning! AX6 wants a look at his newest baby but our female just wants him to go out and catch a fish to feed these two hungry mouths!

Until late Sunday afternoon our third chick was having the tough life that comes with being last to hatch, but getting fed and continuing to grow nevertheless.

Unfortunately it moved to the edge of the cup at 15:52:40 remaining outside of Dorcha's protection for the rest of the afternoon. Had it been a sunny day this would not have been a problem but as it is a wet windy day it led to chilling of the chick from which it did not recover.

So we say farewell to the little Bob with the smiley face on its head after just one week of life. That is how it goes sometimes with these wild creatures.

Just a warning to those of you who find this kind of thing particularly difficult - the remains may at some point be eaten by the other ospreys. If you don't feel you are up to seeing that you may wish to look away from the livestream for a couple of days.


I've been worried about chick 3, so sad

After a long day of strong winds, which would have made fishing difficult, AX6 was finally able to bring a fish in in the evening! It was gratefully accepted by our hungry chicks!
