LM12 has been at the nest every day since Monday guard calling against a seemingly invisible intruder. None of the birds have touched down on the nest so we don't know if it's another osprey or a buzzard, heron or swan. He landed 12:30 Monday, 14:10 Tuesday and 13:30 Wednesday. Tuesdays clip shows shadows passing over and LM12 is mantling, suggesting the intruder came very close to the nest.

Successful first season for Loch of the Lowes ospreys

Ospreys LM12 and NC0 have successfully raised a chick in their first season as a breeding pair. :nod:

The birds abandoned the regular nest at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch of the Lowes Visitor Centre & Wildlife Reserve in Perthshire on 12 April, but continued to make occasional appearances on the reserve’s wildlife webcam.

The Trust can now confirm the pair established a nest at a nearby location and that their young chick has now developed and fledged. It has not been possible to establish if the juvenile bird is male or female.

NC0 left the area in early August, and the other two ospreys are expected to fly south by September.

Sara Rasmussen, Perthshire Ranger, Scottish Wildlife Trust said: “It was a privilege to watch NC0 and LM12 form a strong pair bond this spring. I’m absolutely delighted that they’ve been able to successfully raise a chick, and we’re hopeful that they’ll go on to have many more seasons together.

“We’re still waiting to see if this young bird will appear on our webcam before its maiden migration, but visitors to the reserve may be lucky enough to see it testing its wings ahead of a long journey south.”

The male osprey LM12 has been breeding at Loch of the Lowes since 2012 and has raised 15 chicks in that time. NC0, a female who was ringed at a nest near Loch Ness in 2016, is LM12’s third mate.

Loch of the Lowes Visitor Centre is now open from 10:30am – 5pm, Thursday to Monday. All visitors must book in advance.

He's back!
LM12
spent a few minutes on the nest at 5pm and he's been spending time around his usual favourite perches. We're hoping to see NC0 arrive back any day to truly begin this year's season.
