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.

08.19 Aila returns from a quick flyabout with a small mossy tree-trunk which lands across the bobs! Louis follows seconds later with the remains of the first fish (delivered at 06.53 - getting hard to keep track, they keep leaving and returning). She moves the log off, and takes the fish from Louis and commences feeding.

It's a lovely snap, KORKY! I love to see Aila nodding off :-*
I'm selebrating too, I just noticed the speed-up. I wonder what time that was?
Here was Louis taking way a big leftover @ 10:07

That sounds like last year when Rannoch (the younger of the two chicks) started most of the fights. Ian

Not the best idea, Bob2 soon pays the price!
