BIRDIE NUM NUM has given us a link to the BBC Scotland news item about the 'birth' of our first osplet. (If it doesn't start playing at the salient point, skip to 4m27s.)
Apart from the intruders still hanging around, yesterday was a great day for all the family. I think we all agree that the "osplet who should be the 100th to fledge" is a very strong and healthy chick.

My remark, above, disappeared after I posted it, then reappeared after I went off the site and came back just now - its weird!!

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Our egg stats to compare with other years. Will egg #3 hatch on 34 or 35 days?

Have borrowed daus laptop so can look at pics properly. Saw on the blog that 2nd egg had hatched - fantastic news.
Thanks folks for all your updates, pics, and vids. Hope to be on air sometime tomorrow afternoon again.
