Ringing of our chicks - Posted on June 22, 2016 by charlotteranger

We are happy to announce that late on this afternoon our chicks were successfully ringed Blue KP0, KP1 and KP2.

We are delighted to be told that the chicks all appear to be a good size and in great condition and based on wing length we believe to have 2 females and 1 male. The females received the rings Blue KP0 and KP1, with the male being KP2.

Loch of the Lowes - One gone…. four to go!

Posted on August 15, 2016 by jonathan

We can now confirm that the female Osprey (LF15) has left Loch of the Lowes and started her journey towards Africa. She left on Saturday morning, when the wind decreased and the weather improved.

LF15 returns!!! It was a huge relief and massively exciting to see LF15 arrive back to her nest at 1.30pm this afternoon, and straight away she has set to work rearranging the nest to her liking. As yet, she has not reunited with LM12 so stay tuned for an update as to how the pair get on this afternoon!

Ringing Chicks and Osprey News by Jane Hamilton

Based on the wing length we believe the older chick (now PH2) is a female and the younger chick (PH1) is a male – females are generally a little larger. The new rings will be very useful for us as the chicks are getting older and the size difference between them is now less noticeable.

03 July 2017 - Ready to Leave the Nest?

Now that the chicks are about 7 weeks old we have been starting to see a lot of pre-fledging behaviour. They have been stretching their wings a lot and sometimes lifting off the nest a few inches while flapping.

Ospreys tend to take their first flight about 50-56 days old1. The older chick (PH2) is now 51 days old and the younger (PH1) is 46 days old. However, females tend to be heavier and so lighter males will often fledge before their sisters. It is hard to say who will make the leap first as the male (PH1) is a full five days younger.

06 July 2017 - PH2 has fledged! By Jane Hamilton, Assistant Ranger

The eldest osprey chick (PH2) fledged the nest this afternoon at 2.04pm. First flights normally last just a few minutes – PH2 flew a few circled around the nest and then found a convenient branch in a Scots Pine to rest. She has been perched there ever since – perhaps a little nervous to make the return journey!
