The season so far:
LM12 (Laddie) arrived back on the 16 March and LF15 (Lassie) on the 23 March. Lassie laid three eggs on the 4th, 7th, and 10th April. The first egg failed to hatch however the second hatched on the 13th May and the third on the 18th May.
Laddie and Lassie are again proving to be excellent parents and throughout this month we will see them transform into beautiful young juvenile ospreys and hopefully learn of their sexes and IDs when they are ringed later in the month.

I took a couple of captures of latest feed then got distracted and forgot to post.
Younger chick initially not that interested.
Now it changes it's mind.

Laddie just flown in with fish, Lassie 'takes' it from him and starts a feed!
Big green moss thing getting in the chicks way :)
Lassie being very vocal, clearly wants a fish.
Laddie arrives, thankfully with a fish.
Feed under way.
I've seen no sign of Laddie or fish this morning. Been on since before 5 am. Unusual??
The scene now.

Laddie flies in fishless....Lassie gives him hell!!
Lassie flies off for a few minutes followed by Laddie. She is now back and shouting for fish.
At last a fish. I did not see the delivery but Lassie is now feeding. #2 doesn't seem to be interested or has been fed already.
As I was typing that I looked back just as #2 stood up! Look at that crop!!
