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.

Fabulous capture of Laddie bringing in the fish! Thanks for the vid, Scylla, I heard her shouting but was busy on the BHF BO thread at the time.
Even though #3 was at the back when the fish was delivered, it eased its way forward to join in with the feed
Close to the end of the feed, #3 was right at the front and still getting bites
Feed ended at around 21:02. Still plenty of fish left over
#3's head can be seen between its siblings
Yes, that's right, Glider. NC0 was quick to grab hold of the fish and take it off from the chicks, #2 bore the brunt of it but only suffered a damp wing (26.5.22) 21:25 Laddie to the nest and took the remainder of the fish. He so deserves his supper tonight!
22:00 Laddie returned the fish
L-R #1, #3, #2
