Ringing Blog >>> Meet our newly ringed osprey chicks - LR1 and LR2
Last month, we saw all three chicks hatch but unfortunately, the third one very sadly passed away after surviving for just over two full days. Laddie and NC0 continue to nurture their two remaining chicks. Long may the good weather, as well as Laddie’s effective hunting, persist so we can continue to watch these wonderful osplets thrive.
NCO moved the fish from the left side of the nest to a more central position
19:09 Still encouraging chick 1 to have more

19:16 I think the chicks are full and very satisfied!
Laddie arrived on the nest, 19:22
Looking lovely in the evening sunlight
The LS 'jumped' just before Laddie took off but I think this was him landing in a back tree
19:41
20:00ish I know Ospreys are supposed to be fit and agile but to the point of being a pole vaulter? lol What a stick from Laddie!
NC0 took a break and left Laddie in charge for a while.
She returned. Laddie had already left the nest
Yet another fish - super work Laddie!
A good feed for both chicks
