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.

As I couldn't find that one the other day, had to make an effort today :)

Thank you, Scylla!
Laddie delivered a headless fish at 20:05(ish)
NC0 took it to the back of the nest to begin the feed

Laddie brought a fish to the nest at 22:02
When he left, he headed off towards, and landed on, the birch
23:03 Laddie was still there but just as I took this screenshot, he flew off to the right over the Loch then did a u-turn to land low in the birch, out of view
Looking bright and magical this morning The light on the water is beautiful All looking serene on the nest as one chick stretches its fast developing wing

Just the one fish delivered this morning
8:55ish
NC0 dashed over to collect it from Laddie
Intrusion but only a fleeting sighting when NC0 is chasing in the distance (I think that's who they must have been) - carried on till all back to routine:
Scylla, I noticed in your vid that Laddie had a headless fish in his talons when coming to the nest to defend, pleased he didn't lose it while giving chase and was able to deliver it a little while after.
Two others
14:55ish
And a small offering at 16:45 I haven't checked to see if this was a tail end that had been returned
19:34 A flapping fish brought to the nest
Laddie left the nest. Loved their reaction!
