Chick #3 - 22.5.21 (35 days) The third chick has hatched at Loch of the Lowes

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.
There was only one other feed as much as I could find scrolling through the footage since this morning. Laddie delivered his fish (that he took away to de-head at 7:57) at 8:15ish. Both had a very good feed.
Chick 2 did get its fair share

Wake up, KORKY - just in case you're all behind again - it was SANDRA you duped with the devil birdie, not me - I was only glancing with half an eye at that time and relying on her to cover it, which of course she did, so competently.

oh dear. faux pas after faux pas. Sorry Sandra!!
After lots of vociferous calling Laddie turns up with a reasonable sized Perch, but a small fish nonetheless, which NCO leapt on.

Short vid of egg #3 turning:
I'm packing up for a while.
I don't know what time it happened but my stream went on to daycam again. It doesn't matter as far as hatch is concerned, as it's not happening yet, unless you can discern something besides the stuck shell:
