2019 season summary: Laddie (LM12) arrived back from migration on Friday 15th March; Lassie (LM15) on Saturday 23rd March. Lassie laid 3 eggs on 4th, 7th and 10th April, hatching 11th, 12th and 16th May. Sadly, on 26th May the third chick died. The remaining two chicks were ringed on 26th June as follows: #1 Blue PT4 (M)* #2 Blue PT5 (M)*. They successfully fledged and subsequently set off for their first migration on 14th/15th August. Laddie left around the same time as the youngsters and it is thought that Lassie had already started her journey south approximately 2 weeks prior.

Both Ospreys (unringed) have been a breeding pair on this nest since 2015, after the iconic 'Lady' failed to return.

Inspired by the above - here's the movie, with the divebombing tagged on almost sound-synced but not quite >:( The first clip was almost in sync already, so it varies.
It strikes me that NC0 does look immature, but maybe I haven't got osprey behaviour well enough sunk in, even now!
Loads more to catch up on, as you can see. Currently the cam is buffering badly.

=========================================
The behaviour of NC0, when the intruder was around, ie 'pancaking', is not dissimilar to how juveniles react isn't it?

I reckon it is, PATILY, it's the one who looks like a male but ought to be a female, LOL!
