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.

16.22.25, Louis brings back a morsel of fish from earlier. Aila is keen to get it whilst Louis still has a good grip. Ian

Ohhh KORKY, so sorry I missed your birthday - I hope you had a wonderful day xxx
And if you can read that I congratulate you ;)
The major disturbance to Aila overnight was the bobbling cushion.
Something caught her eye, I didn't find an outcome:
She must have thought it was coming in her direction ;-D

FEED 2 - Aila polished off the tail of this fish
