OSPREY DIARY: read the latest news from the nest!
15 May 2008
Things really are starting to pick up as we eagerly await the arrival of our first hatchling! It could be any day now but we are still expecting it to be early next week.
These are very exciting times for us and even the ospreys are beginning to act more restless. The eggs are being left unattended for longer periods of time with the chicks inside generating their own heat.
Look out for the female standing around the nest and cocking her head to the side, almost as if she’s listening for something. She is in fact listening for the chirps and peeps of the chicks. The male also appears to be bringing in more fish these days, perhaps preparing himself for when the chicks arrive?
Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve has a whole lot
more to offer including red squirrel, roe
deer,
pine marten, great spotted woodpecker and great crested grebe. Visit us today for
an unforgettable experience!
