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 Wendy, there's a 44 minute recording that I can find on Scylla's newest link.
The main webcam page is not showing anything either
It's back now, Wendy...

16:57 I thought LR2 was taking the leap...but he was just helicoptering!
Hopefully, LR1 can give him some encouragement

18:15 A 'live' fish from Laddie
NC0 appeared to warn off an approaching LR1
LR1 did eventually succeed to take the fish from NC0 during the feed
