Aran & Elen
After a slightly dodgy start, when Elen went AWOL when she found that Aran hadn't arrived, and he therefore had a brief flirtation with Blue372 (of whom much more in the Llyn Brenig thread), this couple's second season together is turning out to be a great success. Elen has survived the attentions of an aggressive Tawny Owl and has produced 3 eggs, one more than last season, and Aran has continued to be the great provider we are accustomed to.

Cracking Scylla, Many thanks . Intruder does look a little like our hero

Late morning intruder - Heather looked upwards on Cam1 but I couldn't see anyone:
Sibling aggression is flourishing - #3 kept out of the way:
The cams are not running smoothly, providing one excuse for me not doing constructive videos - but here's #3 getting a bite mid-afternoon, just enough to keep it going:
#3's crop:
Evening:
Supper - medium whole fish, a bit bigger than it looks here but not easy to get a good view of:

I guarantee that #3 got this breakfish bite:
Great to see them all doing so well, thank you Scylla.
Many thanks for lovely pics Scylla and reassurance that #3 is still OK

All's well - this afternoon #1 was wandering to and fro to the fence:

A couple of snaps from this happy but reprehensibly neglected nest!
Elen returning to nest after a short break on the perch with Aran:
After the most recent feed, #1 and #2 were sated but #3 would have liked more. Sorry but there have been no really great close-ups this morning so far.
Thank you for all your efforts here Scylla, it’s good to see all 3 chicks developing nicely.

The cams have been down. I just went to get the new URLs when Aran appeared with breakfish - only one of the osplets could be bothered to wake up for it at first, then the other 2 surfaced.
Unvarnished snaps.
Aran brought a live fish early afternoon - Elen didn't get up for it right away, she was busy keeping her babies dry.
