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.

'Pterodactyl' has been mentioned a couple of times in connection to Bob1, Korky! And of course birds and reptiles are cousins way back. Bob2 is a week old today so that startling feather development and colour change will start happening any minute now to match Bob1 (hatch dates Bob1 May 29/ Bob2 June 1/ Bob3 Jun 3).
Here's another video for you, Louis bringing fish 5 at 22.04
Ian S said:14.41.53, Louis brings in a much bigger whole fish. It looks different to the usual trout, WT chat has identified it as a pike
I'm hoping that this is indeed a leftover for me to cover, with so many great contributions But having said that it was an awkward tyke of a pike that was glitched out just before it landed and then osprey feet got in the way:

Good Morning All
I could only find two feeds this morning.... both from a fish tail that was on the nest.
First Feed @ 04.07 and #3 gets a good bit of it
Then again @ 05.15, looks like Aila likes to give almost to the hour feeds
Once again #3 is to the front..... (bet its a female)
Good morning, MARY - I'm copying this over from the Poole thread, where I've just found it posted in error :-/
Overnight tech trauma when videos started saving as mpg instead of mp4 so I can't play them. Probably nothing crucial was missed but we know about Sod's Law :(
03:55 Louis brought in a half-fish and when Aila showed no interest he proceeded to try to feed whatever little head might pop out from under her. I don't think he got very far:
I lost 8 minutes at the 04:00 nestcam reboot this morning, when it came back Louis had left and Aila was feeding the kids.
Whoever was in the middle here, stayed that way almost the whole time so far - it's the one with the darkest head:
Thank you for the video of Bob 3 pushing to the front Gemeff, so lovely to see the wee one being so assertive.
