Loch Arkaig Ospreys 2020

Until late this afternoon our third chick was having the tough life that comes with being last to hatch, but getting fed and continuing to grow nevertheless.

Unfortunately it moved to the edge of the cup at 15:52:40 remaining outside of Dorcha's protection for the rest of the afternoon. Had it been a sunny day this would not have been a problem but as it is a wet windy day it led to chilling of the chick from which it did not recover.

Just a warning to those of you who find this kind of thing particularly difficult - the remains may at some point be eaten by the other ospreys. If you don't feel you are up to seeing that you may wish to look away from the livestream for a couple of days.
