Loch of the Lowes - Time flies when you’re an Osprey - 26 July 2017

Our osprey chicks have been very active over the past couple of weeks.

PH1 and PH2 have both been seen practicing their fishing. Although they are not yet catching fish for themselves, they are certainly warming to the idea. They have been seen chasing each other around the loch, which has been a joy to watch, and a farmiliar game for those of us with siblings. They can still be seen returning to the nest to feed along with their mother (LF15), a bit crowded now they’re growing up!

From The Dyfi project: First Aberfoyle chick, Scotland has fledged

Quote:

LIFT-OFF!!!

At just after 4:30pm this afternoon Clarach's eldest chick took to the Scottish skies for the first time.

At 53 days old, Blue LH0 fledged directly into the wind and in doing so became Monty and Glesni's first ever grandchick
to do so - as far was we know anyway.

Many congratulations to Clarach, her mate, and all the guys at The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre in Aberfoyle!

If only we could tell Glesni and Monty, they would be over the moon

Several metres up, Menai was relatively safe from the visitor,
but recognising the threat she kept a close eye on him!

We still have the lovely Glesni, but for how long?

It has been a fairly quiet week on the Dyfi. The chicks are all doing really well; flying around and perching by the river during the day, but returning to the safety of the nest area over night. Both parents are still bringing a ready supply of fish, so we can rest assured that Aeron, Menai and Eitha are all getting plenty each.

Here's an airborne Glesni as the first rays of dawn sunlight illuminate her beautiful feathers.

She left this very day in 2016 - 13th August. Only she knows when it will be time to leave this year
