Police say they are not treating the death of Scotland’s ‘most famous bird of prey’ as a criminal matter.

Officers were investigating after Laddie – one of the breeding pair of ospreys at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s (SWT) Loch of the Lowes reserve in Perthshire – was found dead near the site on May 3.

Laddie became a viral sensation after delighting birdwatchers on YouTube. He first appeared on the nest in 2012 and paired up with another osprey known as Lady.

The raptor, also known as LM12, returned to Loch of the Lowes on March 27 for the 13th consecutive year and reunited with his current mate, known as NC0, to the delight of staff at the reserve and thousands of enthusiasts monitoring the nest via the reserve’s live webcam.
