It has been just over 2 weeks since we saw the osprey chicks on our screens. Wishing them all a safe journey South!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Still here! All three chicks spotted this morning looking strong and healthy #ospreys

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Both chicks are doing very well after their first flight last week. A busy nest this morning! #ospreys

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Both chicks fledged from the second nest this morning! This one was second to go. #ospreys

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Katrine and Drunkie's chick took it's first flight last week! #osprey #fledgewatch

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

The chicks on the second nest are now three weeks old. After a bit of squabbling earlier they've settled down now.

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Katrine's chick had a good feed earlier during a break in the rain!

Katrine's chick had a good feed earlier during a break in the weather!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Managed to catch the adult landing on the nest earlier. No food this time but yesterday's deer is still there.

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

The peregrines have fledged but are still returning to feed so we'll continue to monitor their progress #fledgewatch

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

The @LodgeAberfoyle has a new camera - on a live Eagle nest! This chick is 7 weeks old and growing rapidly.

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Katrine and Drunkie's chick is 3 weeks old today!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

The peregrines have grown rapidly in the last week losing their down as their feathers develop. Not long to go now!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

The second egg has just hatched! Look closely and you can see the chick emerging from the egg!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

The first egg on the second osprey nest has hatched! Fingers crossed for the second egg!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Katrine was feeding her chick earlier during a break in the rain. It's looking really healthy considering the recent weather! 😀

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

First chick hatched yesterday on Katrine&Drunkie's nest!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

We also have a camera on a nest with a pair of Ospreys which have been incubating their eggs since 10th May!

[Aberfoyle Ospreys @aberfoyleosprey]

Here is a shot from Katrine and Drunkie's nest today. Eggs were seen on 28th April and the pair are both incubating!
