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.

I think it was a new one. The last delivery I can find (after a very quick scroll through) was around 11:55 and if that's so, then that fish was very much needed :)
20:14 Fish delivered
It was still alive and NC0 had to be quick to grab it so it didn't flap over the side

Cam zoomed in for the feed. This pic taken around 15 minutes after the fish was delivered
Laddie popped by to see how the feed was progressing
He left the nest when he saw NC0 was still feeding #1
She swallowed the fish tail
DELETED - see post below.
DELETED - In my heat haze, it's taken me this long to realise that my YouTube screen is playing earlier footage.
Good morning,
There was a headless fish delivery from Laddie, 8:05
At 7:45ish, NC0 was mantling/chipping/alarm calling. What looked like an intruder flew over the Loch (top, right of pic)
A busy day but will check when I can. BFN
Just lately I've noticed lots more ducks gathering on the water here:
There was another intrusion, Laddie flew in chipping, it didn't last long, he flew off to our right, couldn't tell if he was chasing or just going about his business after the threat was over. NC0 remained watchful
