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.

Thank you, Sandra. I've just had a big shock, finding that we're on the first of the month - and no gremlins

Good morning all. I can't believe there is no seize up...
Here's the fish delivery as reported by Scylla. It was a biggie!
#2 wasn't going to miss out on its breakfish!
Laddie collected the fish so he could have his first meal of the day
Laddie brought the remainder of the fish back just after 6:15. The chicks had a top-up

7:20 NC0 trying to encourage the chicks to have more...!
Morning Patily. NC0 certainly doesn't let the chicks go hungry, so much encouragement from her even when they are too full to eat anymore. She is wonderful!
patily said:I have been watching NC0 for some time and thinking to myself what a brilliant mum she has proved herself to be
I was thinking that while watching her and doiing video yesterday - unrecognisable from the nervous bird we first met
I have to do some kitchen work, and for some reason I always feel I ought to tell people when I'm going to be away - probably a hangover from the old DU days - we even got notified when MOFFER went to the loo
EDIT - My cam's buffering - it had been showing signs for a while
Lol Scylla, I'm sure Moffer will be delighted with that reminder!
Yes, cam's been buffering on and off for me too. BFN
There was a fish delivery and subsequent feed for the chicks at around 12:10
