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.
Headless fish from Laddie, 18:11

FISH !!! !!! !!!
EDIT - very difficult to get a clear view of the well-headless fish, so this is messy:
IMAGICAT
19:27 NC0 dived from the birch and caught a fish (as she did twice on Saturday)
Shaking water off from her feathers
20:02 NC0 did another dive from the birch, another fish caught!
20:20 She's done the exact same thing again!!!
What a treat this is!
20:28 After eating the fish for herself, she alerted LR1 and LR2 that she was leaving. She went straight to the birch! (Pic taken before she landed on top of the tall branch)
20:31 And once again - another fish from NC0! Incredible!
21:09 She came back (fishless this time) and landed on the perch
21:19 Laddie with a fish delivery. I bet NC0 doesn't tell him about her successful fishing trips! lol
NC0 changed her position to continue with the feed
