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.

15:08 NC0 chipping while on the nest, same could be heard in the distance
Hi Patily, I've not seen any announcement as yet. Someone did pose that question on Fb a couple of days ago but Lowes haven't replied.
Fish #6 was delivered by Laddie at 19:40
#2 at the front with NC0
NC0 offered some fish to #2 then...oh dear!
NC0 feeding #1
#2 did have some fish after the initial 'argy-bargy' from #1
NC0 and the chicks had been waiting for 5 hours and 10 minutes before this fish was delivered, no wonder #1 showed its dominance
22:07 Laddie with a stick delivery, much to the annoyance of NC0!
Laddie didn't come back to the nest after NC0 gave her fish order, perhaps there'll be an early breakfish.
22:57 NC0 and the 2 chicks sleeping
FISH !!! !!! !!!
EDIT - too early and light too poor for a good view, but it wasn't a whopper. Note that Laddie has a good crop on him ;)
IMAGICAT
Morning Scylla and all,
Only the one fish so far as reported by Scylla at 4:11
It's a beautiful day...
7:09 There was the sound of a stick being snapped just before NC0 arrived with this. The chicks had looked in the direction behind the cam so perhaps that's where she took it from
Chicks are 39 and 37 days old. Still no news as to when ringing will take place. It's a lovely, calm day so I wonder if it will be today?
