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.
It was a good feed with #1 getting lots at the start but then NC0 did spend time concentrating on #2
Some pics of the many bites for #2 during the 17 minute feed

A sight for sore eyes - a warm, dry osplet with a full crop
Laddie just brought a biggish stick. Correction - medium stick.
