Laddie (LM12) and NC0 have continued their excellent partnership from last season, not only with the incubation of their three beautiful eggs but also in defending the nest, and area, from intruding Ospreys.
During the middle of this month, all being well, we will witness three gorgeous chicks hatching and being lovingly cared for by their wonderful parents. Here’s hoping that fine weather, abundant deliveries of fish from Laddie, as well as NC0’s feeding skills, will see the little ones thrive.

I wonder if the presets have "broken"?
(Always wondering something or other )
We had a zoom when NC0 got up but the zoomer could hardly get focused before she returned to brood/incubate.

Morning all,

7:55 She's not so quiet now! Laddie arrived - no fish
He left at 7:57, hopefully to catch breakfish, and peace reigns once more! lol

Fish delivery and feed, about 11.05
Thanks Geemeff :)
Cam zoomed in on the chick and eggs then a top up for the chick at 12:33ish. A question mark re pip in second egg?
Here's the 11.05 feeding:

Looks like the same place I highlighted last night - but if it is a pip, it's worryingly slow, don't you think?
It looked like the same position as your overnight pic, Geemeff! Fab feeding vid, thank you. NC0 did very well to feed the chick while its back was to her
Good to see more progress has been made. This from LotL Fb
A larger pic of the one within the Fb post
Another perch delivery around 15.35. Laddie is doing well and so is NC0!
