Link to May 2020 thread
Aila and Louis' first chick hatched on Friday 29 May. Perhaps we can expect number 2 and 3 to hatch on 1 and 4 June.
May brought lots of fish, clods, shag pile, sticks, osprey and owl intruders and fame to Aila and Louis, appearing on the BBC, Channel 4 and Chris Packham's Self Isolating Bird Club Live.

I haven't refreshed to see this thread up-to-date.
Aila had more sleep than she used to get, despite the bobblers underneath her :)
She had more than one flyabout, the chicks weren't madly active overnight:
She got up and appeared to be examining the chicks:
Then a little discomfort?
She was getting ready to get rid of some little pellets:
04:23 Louis flew in with what looked like a whole minnow and, as Aila did not get up, he ate the lot and flew off @ 04:31:
05:20 he was back with a small fish which I can't get a decent snap of:
Aila got up for that one right away and fed the 3 healthy-looking (from a distance) chicks:
Morning Scylla
It is still very slow for me, taking around 5 minutes for every mouse click. I see you have covered the early fish deliveries and feed.
I only took one screenshot during the feed.
So I will post it as a time stamp to see how long it takes to post. 07.04 am.
Morning everyone! Bob3 didn't get any of that second fish, Bob1 got most and Bob2 a decent amount. Aila flew off for a quick break, just as it looked like Louis might feed Bob3, she returned and sat on the chicks so Louis ate the small mouthful he'd been about to offer.

It's shocking and so frustrating, MARY. I've been opening RF's in advance in case I need to post something.
Glad you made it in, tho :-*
11.37, Aila has a stretch and flyaround. She comes back and feeds from a small fish remain (I assume from 09.31 above). Ian
EDIT - There was a feed at 10.40 which I missed at the time, it was from the same fish.
12.17, Louis brings in a very nice headless fish for Aila & the three chicks (that last bit specially for Starling). Aila fish calling rather than taking the fish, she does that from time to time I don't know why. 12.20 she eventually takes the fish and a feed commences. Ian
EDIT - 12.29 feed over, Louis takes the fish away. It was a good size so he should bring it back for further feeds.
