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.

Louis arrived at 06.15 to take the fish away - off he went at 06.16
He brings it back again at 06.24 - so it was a quick breakfast for Louis this morning

Wee bob copying Mum
Morning everyone. 07.58, the nest must be getting too crowded for Aila, she was on the nest-side perch from 07.55 until she flew off. Ian
08.44, Louis is on the nest and facing the camera. His crop looks rather empty, he should allow himself the luxury of eating the head of the next fish. Ian

Aila has really got the Yoga bug! - another stretching class this morning
09.38, I think Louis took my advice to eat a portion before delivering the next fish. It looks like a headless fish he brings in. Ian

10.09, biggest bob is moving some small sticks, middle bob is nibbling at the fish remains. They are growing up fast. Ian
Love the way they have arranged themselves

Was so funny earlier when Aila was moving a stick around …..
Such a lovely pair!
