Tiger - sorry to ask this here but have you seen photo of osprey in news today in Fareham.  I am sure I can see a Darvic ring on leg.

No I have not seen that. Is there a link.

I'm remembering too that the 1st and 2nd chicks hatched on same day in 2013...

I have seen that happen three times.

At  Bassenthwaite 2006 there were  no chicks at dusk and two at dawn.

Yes thank you Choco, was brilliant. full on, but great. 125 species.  Being back at work was a bit of a shock!  Glad Maya back! yes a seasoned pro! but where was 33?

Egg-sactly Tiger :)

And we also know some other bird species don't incubate at all until whole brood is laid, so that they hatch together, and the first laid eggs still hatch OK

I haven't observed many males routinely taking on the night shift in the couple of years I've watched the nests Stingray. Maybe something to do with the fact that they need to recharge energy for fishing next day? I seem to remember an exception last year, but can't remember who it was. Most likely Monty when Glesni took time off one night!

It seems that no chicks at dusk and two at dawn happened in Manton Bay in 2011. See   this post

I'm struggling to see a Darvic. I looked at the photographer's Flickr stream and found it here https://www.flickr.com/photos/markrutley/16923269818/in/photostream/ and have asked him if he can see a ring anywhere on the original
