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.

Middle chick must be a female, it's already practicing its Mumbrella.

Thank you, IAN :) I've done some bits for the nests not covered fully by others but won't be around much.

I'm finding the new style even worse than the old, and that's saying something!

11.15, the delay in Louis bringing a fish is explained, he arrives with a flat fish, I assume a flounder. Feeds becoming noisier affairs. Ian
I called my clip synchronised squeaking, Ian, they're definitely getting noisier. One of the chicks was fish-calling earlier!

17.38, fish. Ian
And a well fed Louis by the look of it.
I didnt get a screenshot, but Aila and all 3 chicks were fish calling, poor louis will need a set of ear defenders soon.
