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.

An excellent and very informative blog by Hollie, Species Protection Officer
'Birds of a Feather' - Everything you ever needed to know about feathers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I haven't read the feather blog yet, but coincidentally, yesterday I saw on the telly that the emu is the only bird that grows a double-shafted feather from each follicle - and we need to know that

Evening all
Laddie brought a stick to the nest a little after 19:20, #1 was in the wrong place!
NC0 was calling for fish and Laddie left the nest, hopefully to catch their next meal

21:02 Laddie delivered a headless fish. He had been on the left side of the birch for just over 30 minutes before his arrival to the nest
21:11 #1 had eaten its fill
21:16 #1 decided a little more would be nice as #2 turned away
21:22 And a bit more!
Good morning
Chicks have already had breakfish. Laddie delivered their meal at around 5:30
