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.
Sandra P said:Between 5:00 - 5:50(ish), Laddie delivered THREE fish to the nest!
Before that, NC0 was getting impatient - she had a flyabout over past the birch, came back and perched, had a think, off she flew and very soon returned with a ginormous (but obviously dead) log, which turned out to be a wasted effort, and it would have made such a good fence:
I shall try to do the fishes soon.
IMAGICAT
That would have been a great cot rail! Loved your comment at the end of the vid!
13:23 NC0 had been fish calling while sitting above the cam. A movement on the top of the back right tree showed where Laddie was - he was just about to fly away when this was taken. He headed in the direction of the birch but then went over and beyond it

14:17 NC0 ensuring #2 had eaten enough, bless her!

16:58 Fish #8 Fantastic fishing by Laddie today especially as the weather is quite dire there
17:39 #9 - Laddie with a flapping fish
NC0 managed to grab hold of it
I misremembered and thought you said 5, SANDRA - you can imagine how I've been thru the download and the screencapture trying to find one more because I had found only FOUR

I missed the 5:36 delivery that you found so it was 4! I have to add one more to the tally I've been posting so, with that one included, he's now up to 10 for the day so far! What a star!
Thanks for the clarification, Scylla!
