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.

11:24 Laddie was on the nest after delivering a stick. NC0 called for fish while he was there
Laddie left the nest and after some beautiful flying, landed on the tree behind it. Will he make another dive from there?

12:01 Fish delivery
NC0 began the feed immediately after taking the fish from Laddie
Cam zoomed in. #1 behind #2 and #3
L-R #3, #2 (who had moved its position after initially turning away from the feed) and #1
Three very contented chicks at the end of the feed (12:19ish). #2 semi-standing in this pic, still has the two dots on the back of its head
Another fish, which was very much alive, at 13:10
Another feed...where do the chicks put it all?! lol
13:23
13:26 More fish remaining. NC0 offering a piece to #2 who was quite reluctant to take it but did so. #1 had already turned down an offering even though an insistent NC0 had tried on a couple of occasions for the chick to take it!
Haha!
13:55 Laddie to the nest. Both he and NC0 chipping/alarm calling and scanning the sky
Laddie left the nest 14:01 after more alarm calling from him
From scroll back. Laddie with a fish at 15:00ish
And another at 18:06
#3 managed to get in between its siblings to receive some fish
