Osprey update - 22 June

[boxtops]

Dear all,

A beautiful morning is reported in Scotland, and the wardens can barely believe what they see. She's still not right (and who would expect it, at 27 years old) but whatever Lady suffered at the weekend seems to have passed. They are all waiting for breakfast, but Dad - at present - is playing April Fool and only bringing sticks. However he has been brilliant so hopefully is fishing now. Lady has flown again. Fingers crosssed, and breath still bated!
A reminder of the link to the webcam: http://www.thewebbroa...ation.com/swt/swt.php
It does get VERY busy at times, so if you can't get on, keep trying, and sometimes you can read the blog if you can't see the action (and perversely, sometimes the other way round).

Hello DF - isn't though. You could get quite hooked on this.

Good morning you two - I thought for a bit I was the only one awake - didn't half get a shock when Mum was nowhere to be seem first off, but now she's there and don't you just love the 'waste disposal system' they come equipped with - lol !!! At least it cuts down on the house work for Mum. very addictive, ttfn !!!

Morning steff - I was so worried when she wasn't around for what seemed like ages. Thought I would be a diarist for boxy's benefit. They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn so I shall stop worrying now. Time for my own ablutions!

Good for you, ttfn - sometimes it's easier to keep up the blog here than try to get onto the one at the lowes. Very gald to see Mum come back, I was imagining all sorts of disasters, but all good now. Back to the webcam, catch you later

Thankfully the cam shot has moved out of zoom a tad. Lady has been calling incessantly for the laird to restock the larder. There appears to be what looks like an egg between the 2 chicks - presumably a spent shell. One of the chicks has been having a good stand up and stamping his feet - his legs look quite impressive already. He (or she) has been having a really good look around at his world too, surveying the scenery opposite the loch. If I am worried about them falling out of the nest now - how bad is it going to get before they fledge?

spotted your blog about the ablutions ttfn - the first time I saw it, I couldn't believe how fast or high it was - excellent plan to keep the nest clean. As you say, gardee loo below!
