Last month we started the thread off with egg watch, this month it is hatch watch. Will it be two years in a row with three beautiful chicks on this nest, well it won't be long until we find out.

Hi Badgie
Good to see ya!!!
I understand several who have given up on using VLC.
Lassie was alone on the nest with a big fish that Laddie brought in. Then she left it and went to settle down again. Couldn't see the eggs are the light not conducive to it. Then Laddie came in, picked up the fish and took it away. During all this happening the camera zoomed in.
Laddie is back with the fish now, just standing with it and Lassie won't get up.
What does this mean :-)

Thanks Mike, I know I really must get a move on. I was closing down all webcams when I seen that little scenario, come to see that no one was on the job LOL.... so thought I better post.

Bi for now, happy webcam watching everyone :-)
Morning Both (again) and Patily when she gets here.
when I checked earlier all was as usual, but hatch day is creeping nearer.
Morning Kate
Eyes peeled maybe early?..............as Tiger and Chloes clock says....
I know 35 days could be the earliest, but hey who knows with Osprey's.
Good morning everyone :-) Just tuned in and Laddie was incubating. He got up to turn the eggs....
He had a few goes at trying to get a comfortable new position to incubate the eggs.....
Settled again.......

Lassie comes off the eggs and preens....
She settles again and preens....
Test vid ahead of chicks hatching ... lots of freezes & loss of transmission, will have to be 'wet-nursed' to get anything good!
But some 'eggy moments' along the way which indicates that there could be some good chick views (vid still cooking, ready in about 5/6 mins!)
