Just as we had hoped, the middle of May proved to be a wonderful time with three successful hatches. Laddie, with his prolific fishing skills, is providing extremely well for his family and NC0’s attentive feeding for all three Osplets, is an absolute joy to watch! Let's hope everything continues to go well.

Thanks for confirming that, Glider, I didn't know if it was my laptop was having a 'funny moment' or not! lol
Good morning all, looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Scene at 04.00 this morning
Followed by rolling mist
Followed by a nice sized trout around 06.00
The chicks had a good feed. You can see #3’s back of head darkening. Aww, the 2 spots are going! The chicks juggled places to get the best feeding spots.
The chicks sat down satisfied and NC0 had a little more.
Laddie came back for the fish.
Good morning Glider and all
Fab captures, Glider - thank you!
The cam zoomed in on the 6am feed, note how #3's head feathers are changing
Laddie returned the fish at 7:06 and NC0 completed another feed for the chicks
Poor soul got barely 10 minutes feeding when NC0 was up shouting for it back! It was dutifully returned.
The chicks got another good feed, although #3 had to wait until nearer the end, NC0 still making sure it got plenty.
NC0 then fed on it some more, leaving the tail to the left hand side. It’s getting more of a struggle each day fitting everyone underneath!
Not a problem at all, Glider, and you've covered the feed as well!
It's a beautiful, clear day for Karen's visit to Lowes, I'm sure she'll have a wonderful time!
