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.

I am sure the bird on the nest was Laddie as unringed.
That looked VERY much like a resident female dive bombing an intuding female to me.But might be wishful thinking!

It could be wishful thinking, the other day NC0 was dive-bombed by what was probably a male. Ian
From scroll back...unringed? (top of pic)
Just wish whoever is doing the divebombing would land on the nest to let us see who he/she is :-)
There are 227 people on webcam at the moment who would like to be put out of their misery. Please let it be LF15 - Lassie.
