Information courtesy of John Williams:
5F Seren hatched at nest K, Rutland, from parents Red 08 (m) and Yellow 30 (f). Chris Wood, who volunteers at the Rutland osprey project, has been following her for at least 7 years to Tanji Marsh in the Gambia. She has been at this nest with Dylan since 2020, after suffering abandonment by bigamist Aran at Pont Croesor.
Seren returned on 26 March 2022.
Dylan is unringed, he's been breeding at this nest since 2016, when he ousted dear Dai Dot.

I think we should be sending in social services... if not on the grounds of cruelty, at least in view of unacceptably unsettled environment

Seren had another chick-bashing session with the big curl of bark - #3 decided it was a sibling's fault and aggressed!
Very fuzzy, sorry:

I'm packing up very shortly - Dylan is currently on the nest feaking on a loose stick, Seren is picking up the fish again, maybe he's just brought it back - yes, that'll be it.
The 2 elder chicks are looking very solid.

I have to catch up from get-go, but this is the current scene:
Last night Cam1 was very late changing over, this morning it's early.
A shot from Cam2 while waiting for 1 to become available:
One second after this it went into a long buffer requiring manual refresh - no change afterwards
First thing I noticed this orning ws the white dotty overlay - need to investigate it:

Haha, it was just the chick-poops - they suddenly stood out.
Breakfish - #3 was in prime position, so got quite a few (rather small) bites before #2 muscled in:
It's been a buffer-fest!
Sleepy heap:
Dylan brought a leftover and started eating - when #3 appeared from under Seren he offered a bite but #3 didn't stay out:
Dylan brought this multi-branched stick:
All 3 up 'n perky but nothing to eat at the mo:
Up to 10:40.
