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.

Smelly cot rails!

This might be a big garish. And I couldn't get all 3's heads up.
Ring-a-ring o' fishes
IMAGICAT
11.04, one of the bobs (number three I think) squirts on one of the fish, that'll make it less appetising. 12.41, Louis flies in, for once I am glad he only has a stick and not a fish. He is eating one of the fish on the nest. 12.51, Louis finishes the fish, only five more to go. Ian

Self-saucing?
13.13 (ish) Aila has been off the nest for a wee while, Louis comes in and starts tucking into another of the fish. Aila returns and has a bit of a preen before sitting on the bobs. 13.25, Louis takes the fish he was eating away, now down to "only" four fish (unless he brings some of it back). I wonder if Aila has been for a bath, she looks wet underneath. Ian
Perhaps she went fishing to top up the store as Louis hasn't supplied any today,
