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.

That's unusual, I think. The chicks are alone Ahhh! Not really Lassie arrives
A feed going on at the moment.
Now this made me smile..... :-)
Only room for one!
What a miserable day it is there, as it is here in Central Region too.
Oh dear, look at these poor ospreys, they need an umbrella.

Checked forecast and 70 to 80% chance of rain all day.
Don't know if there is a intruder around or not, as never have the sound up, as it gets too confusing with sound on ALL cams :-)
When I looked in first @ 07.27 one chick doing a wing stretch
then it carried on preening, while the other was flat on the nest
then both flat on the nest, which they are still like that but heads up and looking around.
Lassie and the chicks seemingly waiting for breakfast.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good Morning ALL
Looks very windy at Lowes this morning. Lassie standing watching her GEMS. :-)
