Caerlaverock chicks doing well. Nest seems quite shallow and not built up like Loch of the Lowes. Having said that Lady's nest has been getting added to for a very long time.

Report back on the two un-hatched eggs at Loch of the Lowes. Blog makes interesting reading.

Have read the blog - things don't seem to bode well for future success with that pairing.

I just wonder if we will see Lady after this Autumn migration. Having said that, she amazes us each year by returning.

Not to report from either nest.

Loch of the Lowes staff are telling drivers to drive carefully on the single track rural road that runs along on side of the loch. There are a few wildlife fatalities.

EJ on the nest feeding at the moments. This is normal behaviour pre-migration.

Have a look at the Loch Garten blog, its brilliant. Not going to say anything and let you find out for yourselves.
