The season so far:
Mrs G arrived back on the 22nd March and her mate, Aran on the 7th April. Mrs G laid three eggs on the 19th, 22nd, and 25th April. Currently both adults are taking turns to incubate the eggs which are expected to hatch around the end of May.
At the nearby second platform, the Traeth nest, Blue 5F has laid an egg on the 28th April which is likely to be Arans!!

I've been "sitting on" the video of this, forgot to post it.

I've stopped recording in VLC (trouble accessing and editing the recordings) and started up a screen-capture so that we have a chance to monitor the fish situation and the progress of the chicks. However, it' sharing with LG so I can't do sound - sorry :( The resource is usually allocated happily to Manton Bay, where the lack of sound is inherent ;)

A holding shot!
Good fish arrival, chicks fed, not sure how much they got!

The one on the left is behind a smear on the lens :(
The one on the right is a typical osplet, facing the wrong way ;)
Aran on the perch.
CATCHUP
Aran paid a short visit from the perch before flying off:
New fish!
MrsG had most bites (who can blame her?!), #1 had a very few, I'm not sure if #2 swallowed any. Anyway, they look well.

Long-suffering:
Let's get some weight off!
Chicks bobbled up briefly:
Breakfast time!
You may think that one of them is looking the wrong way...
But see what it can see!
I think that MrsG changed her mind about feeding - is that large leftover not satisfactory? Last evening she fed them the tiddler rather than that one.
Mrs G starting a feed with the large piece of leftover fish and Aran flw to the nest with his fish and has left it on the side
