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.

16:49 1 piece for #3 but #2 got up to 'move' it away from NC0
#2 being aggressive to #3. Still some of the fish remaining

Absolutely horrendous I hated Alba but hate #2 more!!
That bird is pure evil. It would be kinder to see it push #3 over the side. I am switching off now for there is no way #3 can survive.
16:52 No more fish... 16:56 NC0 gave #3, who was food begging, two or three small miniscule amounts she found when tidying up. #2 had settled down with #1 and was well out of its way
Oh dear, this is Loch Arkaig all over again, hope B3 can just fade away like LA B3, without being pecked or harassed. Because it looks likely, it's so much smaller than the other two, and with B2 being so aggressive, it really has no chance. Sad situation. Fingers crossed for the little one..
