It is pitching down rain in the middle of the night and Nessie, NC0 has a hatch!
There is a little osplet’s head to the right of NC0’s head. Look carefully.

Congratulations to Laddie and NC0!
NC0 you are going to be a great mom. This is your first little one and you held back intruders and protected your eggs like a pro. Well done. Can’t wait to see the little one in the morning.
You can watch the excitement here:
Thanks to the Scottish Wildlife Trust and Loch of the Lowes Ospreys for the streaming cam where I picked up these scaps.
