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.
Laddie delivered a fish (possibly headless) at 14:22

15:50 Well done, Laddie!
Another fish delivered at 19:32
They're both such little 'squeakers' when they are eating! lol
FISH !!! !!! !!!
EDIT
The fish was fuzzy in the air - NC0 wasted not a second in starting the feed:
IMAGICAT
Good to see that Laddie had already de-headed the fish, at least we know he's already eaten his supper
scylla said:Dearest NC0 is eagerly feeding herself now. I'm so proud of this girl :-*
I couldn't agree more, Scylla! She is an amazing mum
Good morning
Laddie delivered a very much alive fish at 6:25ish
Just look at #1 standing tall!
#1 moved to the front of the nest and expelled a pellet before joining in with the feed.
8:16 A headless fish from Laddie
Off to work. BFN
