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.
Another one around 18:15 (very small in comparison to those he has been bringing to the nest)

Laddie delivered a fish, 22:00ish
Both chicks had another good feed
When the feed was over, NC0 made some short calls and looked above the cam. I wonder if Laddie was there?
