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.

You're very welcome, Wendy
Birdie's DU Summaries 2018 https://www.imagicat.com/
That's so very kind of you to say, Sheila, thank you. My reason for doing that is because so many interesting and informative blogs/updates are posted by Lowes and the links can get lost within the thread. By adding them to the OP, they can be much more easily accessible by everyone.

However, she did manage a good one legged stretch later on!

NC0 moved to a better position (for us!) and the cam zoomed in. Chick 2, at the back, appeared to have some grass(?) stuck in its beak
That didn't last long - NC0 swallowed the tail
