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.

12:40ish NC0 with a fish, LR2 flew onto the nest to take it. NC0 made a couple of alarm calls and took flight. LR2 flew off with his fish almost immediately after she had gone
Laddie spent almost 40 minutes alone on the nest from 15:40
Some random captures

16:43 Both youngsters on the nest .LR1 on the left
