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.
24 May
No Laddie yet. As you can see, I had to reset the YT resolution again:
I've been trying to make out an osprey on the birch but it won't stretch its wings - manual setting @ 720p made a big improvement but not good enough still.
IMAGICAT
Oh we of little faith! Well done, Laddie
#3 insists on looking the wrong way (where's the zoom-person when we need them?):
I didn't take much out of this, only when I checked the resolution yet again. I feel that NC0 was distracted by her own hunger - but in any case #3 never presented itself for feeding
Good morning Scylla and all
Thanks for the overnight and early morning coverage.
With the fish still on the nest, let's hope that #3 will get itself into a prime position for the next feed
8:08 There's a feed in progress. #3's in a good position!

08:13 Little lamb not upright at the moment
Just a quick check and saw that NC0 dragged a headless fish from the nest cup at around 10am. She began a feed which I'm looking at now
Gosh, look at the chick on the right (chick 2). The nest cup must be very wet!
