25.5.21 - Chick 3 passed away Sad news about our third chick
Absolutely delighted to have watched three precious eggs being laid. Laddie and NC0 have perfected their incubation duties and, through trying times during April, defended them and the nest from multiple intruding Ospreys. Hopefully, it will not be too long until we see three chicks being cared for by their super parents.
Unknown said:NCO still calling loudly amongst the sheep bleating, and it looks like Laddie is on the left hand tree.
Thanks Richard. I'd love to know how high on the decibel scale NC0's 'voice' is recorded at! lol
22:22 NC0 is still incubating but now quiet. Laddie didn't make an appearance

RECAP
At about 00:15 someone must have hit a preset button and we got a couple of seconds of this rather wonderful view:
Whether it upset NC0, I don't know, but she had to have a vigorous flap thereafter:
Then around 02:00 she got up for a very vigorous drying-off flap (it seemed), this was a wing-stretch in the midst of it:
Adding in a few bars of a distant Cuckoo - it's been repeating since, every now 'n then:
