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.

6:45 Five minutes into feeding the chicks, Laddie brought a very much alive one
Wow! Laddie Are you trying toempty the loch?
Lol, Patily!
#1 had a wing and leg stretch over #2
A short time after, #2 got its 'revenge' by placing a stick on #1's back
#2 moved the stick to the side, #1 looked on
10:43
#2 wasn't interested initially...
...but then changed its mind and got fed
Pleased that the adverts have gone for you, Patily!
This was the headless fish that the chicks were being fed from (14:11)
