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.
How kind of them - but this is a LIVE SNAP and I can't wait to find the perfect one:

The big breakfish and the nitty-gritty of the intrusion:

Scylla, thanks everso much for the vid of the fish delivery as well as yesterday's intrusion.

21:33 A 'live' fish from Laddie.
It was flapping in the centre of the nest but NC0 managed to grab hold of it
Chicks enjoying their supper
Edit - I hope NC0 and Laddie build up the left side of the nest with some more 'cot rails', it's looking quite flat in that area. I assume sticks were disturbed during ringing knowing that Keith Brockie usually does that process on the nest itself.
A while ago a "disturbance" caught my eye - it turned out to be a low-key alert to an unseen "threat".
Good morning Scylla, Patily and all,
I'm sure the chicks grow overnight, Patily, their growth rate is amazing! Yes, an easy prediction to make this season

Thanks Scylla. I wonder what it was?
