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.

Well he did bring in a new fish at 07.18 this morning Richard.
14.50, Louis returns with fish, I am pretty sure the one he took away. at 13.25. Aila feeding the bobs. Ian
As IAN says
Can't stop to see the end of the feed Not sure #3 is getting many bits at present
07.20 Bob3 is caught and dragged out of the nest cup in Aila's talons

16.00.56, Louis brings in a fish. Is it a fresh one? Aila feeds the bobs from a different one, so Louis helps himself to the one he brought in. 16.12, Louis leaves empty taloned. Ian
EDIT - I'll answer my own question. The fish was not fresh, he took it away at 15.49 before bringing it back at 16.00.
15.25 Ouch! Careful dad! Louis trips over the bobs and drops his fish
Slo-mo
16.46 Louis gets booted off by Aila, taking half the cot rails with him.
