Ospreys
Re: Ospreys
Chick must be from first egg. LF12 has just stood up to reveal another egg with a hole in it. It is the 35th day since the second egg was laid, so here's hoping.
Re: Ospreys
Yes, we have two chicks. Not sure what time it hatched yesterday. Staff haven't updated the blog yet.
Re: Ospreys
First chick hatched on Saturday and the second hatched on Sunday, only one day apart. Probably due to the break (2.5 hours) in incubation of the first egg. Third egg due to hatch Tuesday/Wednesday.
Re: Ospreys
LF15 having a feed. She keeps trying to feed her chicks but they don't appear to be hungry. Must already have had their feed. One chick's head appears to be slightly larger than the other one. Did this chick hatch from the first egg or was its development hindered due to the female being away from the nest for that length of time? Don't know how we will know!!!

Re: Ospreys
LF15 feeding her chicks. The two older ones were having their fair share and I thought the recent hatch chick wouldn't get any. It was on its back initially but managed to right itself and tried to push to the front without success. One the two older chick has their fill they lay down in the nestrcup and the younger one started to get fed.

Re: Ospreys
LF15 must have had a sleepless night last night. She is lying low in the nest with her head down and looks to be asleep.
