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.
20:22 Oooh, #1 attacked its sibling all because #2 dared stretch its wings close to it!

20:40 Well done, Laddie, fish #11
I did hear a 'splash' moments before he flew to the nest from the birch area - will check back to see if a dive was seen. Edit - no dive seen, he came from beyond the birch
20:49 It's raining. #1 taking shelter under NC0's tail while she was feeding #2
21:38 Fish #12

I love their little 'squeaks', so cute! lol No idea re the ringing, Korky, Lowes haven't confirmed an approximate date as yet. Presumably in a week to 10 days?
Just had a check through the 2019 thread, PT4 and PT5 were 46 and 45 days old respectively at ringing
Thanks Sandra. Maybe around 3 July if they go by the same approximate ages then
FISH !!! !!! !!! Edit - probably not, it was likely a replay from earlier - cam had been buffering and I've checked the downloads and they'd cut off twice around this time.
