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.

16.54 Intruder Osprey skydancing near the Loch Arkaig nest: Aila's not interested
Someone pooped into the rain and it wasn't Aila:
The chicks had jiggled Aila into action and here she was returning from a flyabout:
It took a while for everyone to get settled, the chicks were happy as long as their heads were protected:

Carrying on from Scylla's post above
Aila has been in the mumbrella position for most of the night, she flew off for a break a couple of times around 2.30 and 4.30, I haven't seen any fish deliveries so far as at 0600 hrs.
