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.

Good morning Richard, Patily and all
Breakfish was delivered at 4:50ish
LR1 flew onto the nest from the birch area
LR1 did attempt to take it from NC0's talons but mum kept a firm grip on the fish. NC0 fed both youngsters
At present, NC0 is still alone on the nest
