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.

22.48 Mumbrella Aila keeps the chicks dry , don't know what she can do about midges though.. horrid little bitey things!
Rain-rain-rain
Someone paid a flying visit, not an owl ;)
Oh how she suffered:
She seemed uneasy at this point, got herself tangled in sticks as she stepped back, resumed incubating rather than flying off the rain:
No flyabout at bathroom time either:
Sometime before daycam it stopped raining !!! Aila snoozed fitfully:
A few minutes ago Aila had a routine flyabout, no sign of Louis yet:
IMAGICAT
Good Morning All
Aila does her best to keep the bobs dry bless her. Perfect midgy weather, I am scratching just at the thought of them.....
Won't be easy fishing for Louis this morning.
