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.
A post on a Chat site says the genders are LR1 Female and LR2 Male. I can't find that on the SWT site?
EDIT. It is on their Twitter link which says a Blog will follow.
Birdies LG DU update.
Fabulous news - thanks everyone!

Our resident psychic? Or just someone who's used to being suspicious?
Oh yes, it was heavily debated - we knew ringing was due to take place 'Thursday or Friday' so as soon as I heard the livestream wasgoing down, I was waiting to see what happened when the new one came up. And sure enough, the chicks were pancaked and NC0 was wary. Finally LR1, big sis as we know now, moved slightly and I grabbed a shot of her bling.
Thanks for the vid, Geemeff
As far as I can see, Laddie has brought two fish to the nest this afternoon 14:45ish
Then while NC0 was still feeding the chicks from that one, he arrived with another!

16:57 Fish!
17:05 LR2 with a nice-sized crop, LR1 awaiting her next morsel of fish
17:12 NC0 fish calling
17:39 Another fish from Laddie!
17:43 I think this has been the easiest nest to predict the chicks' genders!
17:47 NC0 shouting for more fish
Cam buffering on and off for me
