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.

Morning all. Mary I think after the BBC coverage the highest I saw was 2600. I think George at WT did a post on WT chat about views the stream had received. The total numbers were very impressive. Given WT have to purge the comments section on a regular basis the post may not still on the site. Maybe Geemeff has a note of them. Ian PS - the number is 307 just now.
EDIT - the oldest comment I can see on WT chat is from yesterday afternoon, they must have done a purge yesterday.

Ian - I remember seeing it up at the 2000 mark one day, I think it must have been after they were on the telly or maybe when the chicks were hatching.... so amazing! Great publicity for The Woodland Trust.

Breakfast time for me - so I know as soon I go - Louis will deliver a fish!

I think I saw it on Channel4 News too. A huge stroke of luck for Woodland Trust/Louis&Aila I wonder how it came about?
Scylla, Yes it was on C4 as well, I suspect someone in WT who is very good on the PR front. Ian
Perky morning

Morning! The nest was on the BBC on three separate days for multiple visits (2 May four times and 1 June three times and 3 June two times), Channel 4 news twice (7 April and 30 May), and Chris Packham twice (4 May and 5 June) I've got all those clips. It was also on Radio 1, but I don't have the details. All in the space of a few weeks, and the BBC said they'd be revisiting the nest throughout the season. Great work by the Woodland Trust, and easy for the media as no production crew needed, just tap into the livestream and have the presenters say something. Definitely a good PR person at WT!
So no fish delivery yet...…

I think Louis has decided on an away day - enjoying the sunshine and the views around Loch Arkaig
Morning All. Absolutely, Geemeff. Ospreys generally seem to have had excellent coverage in these strange times. Dyfi and Poole have also been covered.
They are getting stronger by the day, with at least one standing up and trying to walk, or stagger, about fairly confidently.
