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.

Thank goodness fish!!!
Thank you both. I bet there was a scramble when that came in! It is six hours since I first checked and, as has been said, it is so out of character for Laddie.

Possibly Laddie's problem earlier in the day was that the wind was making the water choppy and the visibility was poor--hard to see the fish.
Kind regards, Ann
Both chicks hunkered down. No adult in sight.
Lassie back on the nest but no sign of fish yet.
