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.
The 2 osplets looking great, but the third egg is puzzling:

Morning all,
Chick 2 did manage to grab a few bites on the first feed but not just fish...I'll give it 10 out of 10 for its feistiness!
First grab of chick 1
Second time
From the same feed - chick 1 with fish tail 'ears'! lol

Morning ALL and thanks for all the updates, captures and videos also your photos KORKY as it is great to see the nest since the clearance undertaken. Oh the egg!! Must say I am a little worried about that as it may well of stuck. Time will tell but I hope when NCO turns it, it somehow removes itself
Devil chick!

Gosh I can't believe I posted the same snap as scylla, sorry! I scrolled back to watch the feed as worried as always about chick number 2 getting its share, as you do! It was however, in my humble opinion, worth a double post as the bit of fish fell behind the chick's head in perfect devil formation, just in case any of you think me and scylla photo-shopped it......
