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.
Just before 9:45, Laddie kept a noisy NC0 company for a couple of minutes
10:00 I hope he brings her a fish soon before she loses her voice...gosh, she's loud!

10:12 Great close up of NC0 as the cam zoomed in. The team must be getting prepared!
10:13 Laddie chipping in the distance
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
12:01 UNRINGED INTRUDER!
Cam zoomed in
It (he?) mantled and chipped
12:25 It's close again. NC0 shouting!

Perhaps he had hidden ear defenders in, Jane! lol

Thanks Patily. Hopefully he'll direct the intruder away
All is quiet and calm at 12:55
