The first osprey egg of 2022 has been recorded at the Loch of the Lowes reserve in Perthshire.
Earlier in the week, Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) volunteers were fretting that there was no sign of an egg on Tuesday – 20 days after the female NC0 touched down in Dunkeld and reformed her relationship with male bird LM12.
Then hours after the disheartened post on the Loch of the Lowes blog, the female came up with the goods on Tuesday evening.
