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.
19:25 #1 had a good wing flapping session. NC0 had to move her head away as the chick's wings hit/came close to her

20:01 #2 flapping its wings. NC0 is shouting for more fish!
20:09 NC0 was standing silently mantling but then joined the chicks and pancaked the nest. Laddie arrived, chipping
NC0 shouting for fish
There may have been a low fly past over the Loch (behind the back trees) by another Osprey
Laddie left the nest when any threat had passed. His flight took him across the Loch to towards the trees in the distance
