Link to May 2020 thread
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.

Geemeff said:Yes, 17.50.10 fish is fish number five today. Yesterday Louis reached a milestone 250 fish since he and Aila reunited on June 6th! Does anyone here have any fishy totals for last year? No formal record was kept but I seem to recall someone keeping a count.
Geemeff I think you have a touch of my trouble, where the fingers don't type what is in the brain you knew it was April but for some strange reason the fingers typed June
I cannot remember anyone keeping any fish count for last year on the forum - sorry but I will check anyway.
06.30 All ok
06.31 Nope, error message on 2nd refresh. But livestream OK.
After Aila had been in the Mumbrella position all night might be Numbrella position for Aila
she couldn't wait to get out to gather some sticks.
Geemeff "he dropped it and left in a big hurry". Just getting into practice for when the chicks are grabbing at his wings, legs etc. in their desire to have fish .
07.20, the weather is still terrible. Ian
07.15 its raining and Aila is doing a great job of covering the chicks.
Ooops, thanks Mary. Elizabeth had responded saying she had some info from June so yes, must have stuck in my brain. We've now got details of last year from June 1st to September 5th, but as the WT website is down again, I can't access them. Anyone know how long it was down for the first time this morning? And 08.18 it's back up
2nd fish 08.13.57

Edit: Elizabeth shows 407 fish from June 1st to September 5th
Louis just delivered another fish at 08.13
I use the direct You Tube link to livestream Geemeff so didn't notice it was down at all.
I have just tried the Woodland Trust site and it is still down for me at 08.27 am
It's back up. Another warm, sunny day in the Highlands. She's yelling for Lochaber but I see there have been at least 2 fish this morning
