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.

The chicks are flat out on the nest. Has there been an evening ringing???
20:22 A distant 'human' alarm call heard from NC0
The stick placement, on the left edge of the nest, has been disturbed in comparison to my pics prior to the cam going offline

20:37 Cam has zoomed in. Hmmm...!
Yep, both been ringed!!
#2 = LR0
Awaiting #1 to stand up for a clear view of its ring. The best I could capture at it didn't fully get up!
20:47 NC0? on the birch
Posted on LotL Fb a short time ago
21:02 Both Laddie and NC0 on the birch? She was fish calling
I think this one is NC0, she moved onto her favourite diving branch - still shouting for fish!
Hmm, wondering if #1's ring is LR3? I'm thinking in regards to LR1/LR2 last season. Or is a 'P' the middle letter?

Lol, Glider! I was so surprised at an evening ringing though!
Are you still thinking 1 female and 1 male?
21:58 NC0 screeching as she flew over the nest before landing on the perch then onto the nest itself.
Laddie in flight
He landed on the branch furthest left
