From little 'fluff balls' to almost fully grown ospreys, LR1 and LR2 are doing amazingly well all thanks to the fantastic ongoing care from NC0 and Laddie (LM12). Not only have we seen Laddie providing fish for his family but NC0 has been successful several times just recently as well - what first-class parents they are! There continues to be the occasional intrusion from ospreys passing through, however, the nest and chicks have been protected outstandingly. We look forward to the next exciting phase in the young ospreys' development.

Aww, thanks, but it wasn't as effective as it should have been
Here's another, showing the mist starting to roll along the Loch earlier - @ 16x speed - it was misty for a long time:

9:58 Cam offline Breakfish was delivered at 9:40. NC0 was on the perch at the time
Laddie stood on LR2's tail when landing - no harm done
After Laddie left the nest, he landed above the cam
LR2 was first to be fed
LR1 barged her way through between LR2 and NC0
During the feed, LR2 (left) picked up a piece of dropped fish and self-fed at the back of the nest

Cam back online (but there's occasional buffering)

12:17 There had been a fish delivery but it wasn't shown on the LS when scrolling through (I assume due to buffering at the time it was brought to the nest)
12:48 Laddie with a 'live' fish
During the feed, LR2 picked up a morsel of dropped fish
Holding it in his talons while tearing a pieces off
He went back to NC0 to be fed some more
Both fascinated with something. Whatever it is, I can hear rustling
