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.

Morning Glider and all,
Laddie didn't break his 9 fish record, Glider, no more fish were delivered yesterday evening.
A large, 'live' breakfish was delivered at 4:35ish
#1 (left) and #2
No fish remained at the end of a very long feed which was, part way through, stopped briefly due to an intruder alert from NC0
Going by their sizes, #1 female, #2 male?

A zoomed feed in progress from a second fish that I could find on scroll back
12:30 Laddie's delivery
12:52 #2, on the left, and #1
Thanks Glider. I didn't have a lot of time during my lunch break to watch the feed so that info is much appreciated. Another fish from Laddie was delivered at 14:50ish
#1, behind NC0, moved its head slightly, #2 moved away for the briefest of moments. No aggression seen
NC0 paused feeding for a second or two, #2 had its eyes on the fish. I think #1 may have passed a pellet, there was some body movement behind NC0
#1 was fed while in this position (arrowed) behind NC0
The feed ended at around 15:15. #1 standing behind NC0
