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.

Still no sign of fish here....unusual?
Birdies LG DU update.
Maybe Laddie is finding it difficult to fish Mike. Its passing showers here, so hopefully he may manage to get a fish in between times.

They've been waiting now since I first looked in at 6 0am.
Still no fish delivery.
Just looked in - Lassie looks totally miserable.
This is unusual for Laddie. It does look miserable up there.
Yes it is unusual. He is always so reliable. Just looked in again and all three are standing up on the nest.
More wing flapping.
Look at me.
Lassie and chick 2 got caught underneath the wing.
Fish!
