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.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It was hard to tell if it was a 'human' swimmer, but NC0 was definitely looking in that direction before sounding off alarm calls, Catlady.
Taken at 22:20. #1 appears to have had a sudden growth spurt!

It does look very big, quickly catching up on mum! That’s what 9 fish a day does for you!
I’ve just been admiring the beautiful colours on the Loch over the last half hour from 22.00.
A headless fish was delivered by Laddie at 23:09, making it TEN in total for the day!
Both #1 (left) and #2 did crop drops before having their late supper
In anticipation of the forums seizing up I opened this RF box @ 02:59. I also refreshed the thread list at that time - and again @ 03:01, and bob's yer uncle, all seized up.

Unlisted, as it's not enlightening, unfortunately. Also, I noticed the sound was out of sync, did not stop to correct it.

Good morning Scylla and all,
I wonder what it was that spooked NC0 yesterday? Many thanks for your efforts with the vid.
A headless fish at 7:02, the first one I could find on scroll back
7:23 A pause with the feed when NC0 mantled/alarm called due to an unseen intruder. There were distant chipping calls
