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.
The clump - not nearly as dramatic as one had hoped - and I haven't added on the moving from right to left:

9:09 Chicks were full after their 2nd meal. Laddie arrived.
9:16 Laddie still waiting for NC0 to finish feeding herself.and the chicks (again!). Hopefully, there will be plenty of fish left for Laddie to take off to eat
9:19 Laddie took flight, NC0 still with the remainder of the fish
BTW, NC0 brought the other bit of greenery, centre, to the nest when returning from a short comfort break a little earlier
9:25 Bless her, still she offers fish to the chicks but they are too full to eat anymore!
9:45 Laddie back, he found the remainder of the fish
Eating on the nest
After swallowing the fish tail, Laddie spent a few minutes with NC0 and the chicks before leaving (9:59)
