The Season So Far - Loch of the Lowes Webcam (2025)

It's been a complex start to the season with no fewer than four combinations of osprey pairings appearing on the nest;

*NC0 (resident breeding female 2020-2024, not seen since 2nd April) & a
New Male
*The New Male and an Unringed Female (with the 'Cluedo' marking on the
back of her head)
*LM24 (aka The Dark Intruder, who held territory in second half of 2024 with NC0) & the
same Unringed Female, and finally...
*LM24 & the Dark Female (with the 'Bandit' eye mask who intruded in 2024, and possibly
2023)!

Confused !? It's taken a lot of careful reviewing and analysing to pick apart the rapidly changing dynamic, but it looks like LM24 and the Dark Female have finally become 'top ospreys' at the Lowes nest, appearing to be settled as a pair and dominant for a week!

Talons crossed for eggs in the next 7-10 days!
