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.
Hi Patily,
Have you see the news re PT4(19) returning back to the UK? (seen at Kielder)

9:20 Unseen intrusion. NC0 alarm called before leaving the nest
NC0 saw something. LR1 stretching her wings
Off to defend
Lots of alarm calling/chipping before NC0 returned to protect the nest, LR1 and LR2
Things calmed down after about 5 minutes of her being back

LR2 (left) took a piece of the fish
NC0 headed back to the birch when the feed was over
17:06 NC0 flew back to the nest. She began fish calling before leaving the birch and has continued since - perhaps she can see Laddie across the Loch with their next meal...
17:15 LR1 (left) and LR2 resting while NC0 shouts!
After a period of being quiet, and with no sign of Laddie bringing a fish, NC0 headed back to the birch at 17:43
