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.

Fish delivery
Thought I was seeing 3 chicks when tuned in. Fish is as big as the chick :)
Yes, Starling. I can see why you were mistaken about the fish :) . Lovely pic of the youngsters enjoying a feed.
Feed currently under way with the remains of a fish by the look of it. Unhatched egg still visible.
