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.

Good morning Scylla, Patily and all. The family have eaten well already!

Definitely a female and male as confirmed by their 'vitals' at ringing. I was thinking of dear Monty at Dyfi, he had a dark chest too.
16:40 NC0 must have seen Laddie inbound with fish while sitting above the cam. She fish called then flapped down in time to collect Laddie's delivery
Just before 17:30, it was the same fish delivery scenario as the last one. NC0 was above the cam alerting the chicks that fish was coming. She came to the nest and Laddie flew in with his 'live' delivery
