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.

Aila is having furniture finding sorties at the moment.
She brought in this big stick
Off she went to find some more
No.3 chick is on the bottom
No.3 chick manages to free itself and gets its head on top. Its No.1 chick whose head is now being squeezed on the bottom
Aila brought back a piece of bark and got a bit stuck on her beak, she had to shake her head vigorously to remove it.
Surely there will be a delivery from the fish man soon

Not compared to the real pro's. Ian
Louis brings the 12.17 fish back to the nest at 12.56, and gets decorated for his efforts - oh Bob3 you naughty little squirt! https://youtu.be/ytfr9lXktkk
15.58, it looks like Aila has been bathing, she was off the nest for quite a while and comes back distinctly wet. I am sure I heard her alarm calling earlier as well, I don't have a note of the time as I was distracted by something else. Ian
EDIT - WT chat has the alarm calling at 16.09 into 16.10
