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.

Laddie tried to claim his fish back but NC0 was having none of it and pecked Laddie - he flew off 16:25
He came back and there was a mating attempt.

Wouldn't we all, Mike! :) Thanks for contacting LotL
NC0 did a PS and then flew from the nest taking the fish with her
15:56 Laddie with fish - tug-o-fish, she won - he got a clear message when trying to claim it back!
She had to fight to get it:
And wasn't going to relinquish it - Ouch!
