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'.

small Coalfish or Pollack, an unusual Osprey catch
I would opt more for Coalfish due to its darker colour and obvious white line along the flank

Nice fish. Pity piggy's got it

After a tussle, Rannoch gets the fish
An eagerly awaited fish turned out to be a stick from Aila
Mallie spots Alia flying in - and semi-mantles
Allia arrives…
Mallie takes one look and…
…pecks
And then pecks a couple more times. Alia flies off.
Mallie's behaviour feels very territorial to me.

The Osprey Weekly - a digest of all the osprey news from the week just gone
Well it's degging it down at LA so I've decided we'll see no more action here tonight.
SO this thread is closed and here's the new thread for August.
CATCHUP
FISH !!!
Mallie received it and ate the lot, this is the tailfin going down, after some feaking she flew:
Rannoch looked on the bright side :-*
And flew off:
Here's Aila in one of the gatherings of the 3 femals that followed - but no fish arrived:
During one of Rannoch's waits she got intrigued:
She had a sit-down but didn't flatten:
Mallie was doing the shouting for the cam:
A good flounder and Mallie got it:
Eventually Rannoch managed to take it:
But Mallie got it back:
And Rannoch got it back again:
All gone!
Mallie returned and behaved sweetly:
Ons 'n offs followed, with Mallie mainly doing the shouting, Rannoch nestorised:
Unfulfilled waiting:
The mist closed in:
Then buffering (shortlived) and rain:
