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.
21:45 Laddie returned to the nest having most probably eaten the rest of the fish as his talons were empty
When he left, he could be seen flying low over the Loch heading towards the birch area, dipping his toes into the water a few times, then doing a u-turn back and flying low, back past the left side of the nest. Great to watch him!

21:59 He returned again but didn't stay long at all.
He flew towards the birch and, once again, dipped his toes into the water before landing mid-way on the birch

Morning all, thanks for the updates. I scrolled back to the early morning feed, both ate well :) 9:15 Laddie to the nest but he didn't bring a fish with him.
He flew off but came back shortly after with a small stick. He then left again. NC0 was still fish calling
