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.

Lassie standing with the chicks. A few moments ago she was feeding from the remains of a fish but the chicks were not bothered so presumably just fed.

Is that a ring I see?
Certainly is Starling.
Have they been ringed? Is thta why the cam was "down"?
Certainly seems that way Patily. I can't find a Blog on their site though. I'm looking now to try and get a glimpse but they are hunkered down.
They have moved and the rings are clearly visible but I cant get the numbers.
Laddie has arrived to remove a piece of fish
Here is Tweet of ringing info:
