Die Grand Old Lady von Loch of the Lowes legt das erste Ei der Saison 2014
Osprey Egg Laid by Moonlight 13th April
Posted on April 13, 2014 by rangeremma
Wonderful news here at Loch of the Lowes with out first Osprey egg of the 2014 breeding season laid overnight. At around 12.30 last night our nightwatch staff noticed classic egg laying behaviour- the bird lying low and panting, and at 12.47 the female stood up to reveal her new egg. It is just as well the birds have built such a deep , snug cup in the centre of the nest as it was so windy last night, the whole nest tree was rocking.
Since it was laid, the egg has been carefully tended and both birds have taken a turn incubating. The male is particularly keen to have a go- just now he pushed the female right off , insisting it was his turn- this is a fantastic sign that he is bonding with the egg and his instincts to provide and care for it are fully aroused, which bodes well for the future.
What a fantastic treat to celebrate SWT’s 50th anniversary this weekend!!!
Ja, Doris, ich war mir da nicht sicher. Toll, dass es tatsächlich so ist.
Da die Bilder nicht sehr deutlich sind, habe ich noch mehr Probleme
beim Gucken.
