Link to June 2019 thread (Following Karen's excellent example of providing useful links....)
On 1 July, chick 1 is 30 days old. Chick 2, from egg 3, is 27 days old.
Apart from the sad failure-to-hatch of egg 2 , everything has been reasonably settled on the nest, and Louis is in the running for Mary's 'Fisherman of the Year Award'.

04-51 am .. scylla...you may want to capture this moment in some vid, Bob 1, I think, grabbing the remains of the fish and attempting to feed itself, with Bob 2 getting in on the act too
Aila feeding one chick but I think Louis may want the fish ashe went close to Aila an looke as though he was looking at the remains of te fish
Chick that was being fed has walked away an also given a poop
Aila feeding herself......doesn't look to be much left
C WT Loch Arkaig
Do ya knoow when I first looked in I thought it was Aila nearest the camera and ouis feeding the chick and then I thought it couldn't be...it would be breaking osprey " rules" but now I see that was in fact the case
The chick that was being fed came to the front edge and was wrestling with a large piece of bark and Aila twisted her head to one side to seemingly see what it was doing and thus revealed the evidence of her beautiful necklace.....so, for the above post, reverse the names
Whilst typing Aila went for a fly around Louis still eating......think its all gone
George from the WT has said that weather permitting the chicks will be ringed on Thursday, most likely in the morning. Ian
A couple of videos at TRYING's behest ;)

Some rather half-hearted attempts at self-feeding:
