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.
scylla said:We won't know until someone comes on duty and gives us a signal ;)
This was the signal
(Oh MOFFER !!! I think I hear a CHAFFIE !!!)
And... at last, the osplet is free
Laddie's been in and gone just now:
All's right with the world
IMAGICAT
Osplet's face was in shadow so this had to be lightened, maybe too much for NC0's head, and the other egg visible looks the worse for wear
Rain getting heavier, by the sound of it.
EDIT - Oh dear, that could have been yesterday, the buffering's got really bad again.
Wonderful to see NC0 and Laddie’s first Bob of the season. Here she is eating a bit of the shell this morning.

Thank you, SANDRA - it has been hell, due to the cam problems (on Glaslyn too, tho not as bad) - I was so relieved to see the osplet emerged.
Nearly another heart attack just now, when NC0 flew off leaving osplet all alone, and corvids could be heard. Laddie to the rescue! I had to get this from download, so no timeline - even then, you'll see breakups.
