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.
NC0 ended the feed and went for a comfort break
She wasn't gone for long

21:47 Distant chipping heard. NC0 was looking around
All was quiet afterwards. Fish remains on the far side of the nest
22:10 Laddie came back to retrieve the fish
Cam zoomed in just as he was about to leave
Panned out again in time to see Laddie heading his feeding spot on the birch
22:33 Laddie has brought the fish back
#1 did half-heartedly stand up to be fed while NC0 was eating.. but then decided it was really quite full already
22:52 Goodnight
Thank you for awesome coverage, as usual, SANDRA!
The cam went down @ about 01:40 and came back up an hour ago. NEW URL. NCO took her morning comfort break about 45 minutes ago.
Had to resort to rollbck for #1's copious poop:
#2 didn't bob up util Mummy came home - they both wanted to stay asleep:
Just now, another break for NC0, a temporary chick uppage:
IMAGICAT
Laddie's here to take awy fish... well, NC0 isn't having that, she's got up and retrieved it from him and is starting a feed. (Double-checked, he definitely went for the leftover rather than bring anything with him.)
#2 is in pole position, munching morsels.
Good morning Scylla, Patily and all 7:35 Laddie to the nest with a fish
