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.
Karen W said:thanks Sandra - good to see #3 getting something :-)
I'm so relieved, Karen, I was really worried about chick 3 while in work today. As you say, it was good to see it have something!
Laddie paid a quick visit to the nest just after 17:05 - NC0 was demanding more fish!

18:44 There was a whopper of a fish delivered by Laddie!
#3 can't get to the front and keeps falling backwards. NC0 not helping by keeping the fish at the edge of the nest!
19:00 Laddie returned briefly
I'm not sure but I think only #1 had something - NC0 was feeding herself mainly. Fish remains on the nest
Laddie took the fish away at 19:25
20:10 Laddie returned the fish
