Laddie had a record breaking fish day on the 15th June, when he brought ELEVEN of them to the nest for NC0 and the chicks to dine on - amazing!
As the two chicks grew, it was clearly obvious - with the difference in size - that #1 was a female and #2 a male, this being confirmed at their ringing on the 22nd June.
NC0 began fishing for the first time this season on the 30th June, with TWO successful catches in one day. Hopefully, both she and Laddie will continue to bring plenty of fish for their growing youngsters to enjoy in a now, harmonious manner.

22 July
One of the kids has been waiting on the nest (on and off the perch) since about 04:15 (SANDRA will correct via her superior skills )
IMAGICAT
Morning Scylla and All,
That was PF5, he's been spending some time up on the cam post too. PF4 has been heard calling, away from the nest, but not seen on cam
8:15 There were distant fish calls then PF5 began to shout while on the perch
9:18 PF5 on the nest, waiting quietly
It's been a week since NC0 was last seen, I miss her terribly...
Out for the day but will catch up later. BFN

Thanks everso much for posting the link to Raz's super, informative blog, Richard!
After checking through the footage, no fish has been delivered to the nest. PF5 has spent the majority of the day there, on the perch or on the cam post.
20:44
I very much doubt, with PF5's dominance of the nest, that we'll see if PF4 catches herself a fish and bring it back. Hopefully, there are some visitors to the VC who will be able to capture a pic or video of the moment - if she is successful.
PF5 was very vocal at 21:40. He flew off straight ahead from his position on the perch less than a minute later
He was only away for a minute or so
