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.

15:08 Chicks have been alone for around 25 minutes, NC0 took a break (she may, of course, be sitting above the cam)
15:16 Yes, NC0 is above the cam. Chick 1 reacted and looked up when there was a sound of feathers being ruffled
15:20 NC0 flapped down to the nest
15:28 Fish #4 from Laddie! Still flapping
15:33 Chick 2 didn't get up at the beginning of the feed but has since joined in

Haha, Wendy! Yes they do. I can only start watching the feed when the poor things have been 'dealt' with...

There was a headless fish delivered at approx. 18:38
