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.

I'm wondering if this was him (centre) flying towards, and then low left below the nest as NC0 was 'tidying' up?

8:15 Laddie is back, chipping/alarm calling
I have to leave for work (what timing!). BBL

I've actually remembered to unmute the speaker, so should get alerted to anything dramatic. Looking forward to your return
NC0's calling and calling, Laddie hasn't been gone long, can he have a fish already?
EDIT - I'm not watching properly due to other "commitments"... NC0 is feeding the chicks now, I'll do a playback later.

It's promised very soon, JANE, but I'm not sure if that's for all over the UK... ... ...
These are the BBC forecasts for Perth, which I think is the right general area:
When I reported that NC0 was calling for a fish but Laddie hadn't long gone, and then she mysteriously started feeding the chicks... well, it was because the fish was hidden behind her tail:
