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.
Cam down. The planned maintenance
I still had the footage from before the cam went down. Breakfast hadn't been delivered prior to the switch off
A few minutes before the streaming ended, NC0 made alarm calls, not Osprey intruder ones, and she flew from the nest - chicks flattened
12:01 I then got this at the end of streaming. By my reckoning, the cam went off around 10:15
