Loch Arkaig - nothing on the nest
Glaslyn - KC3 alone on the nest and tucking into breakfast.

Re: Ospreys
Captain (JJ7) on the nest alone and having a feed. Fish is a flatfish. Not sure how far Loch Arkaig is from the sea.
Re: Ospreys
Don't think it was the same fish but Captain (JJ7)has just eaten probably at least half a large trout. He left it and moved away. Doddie (JJ6) nipped in and grabbed it and moved to other side of the nest to feed. Don't think I have seen Vera (JJ8) all day.
Re: Ospreys
Dry so far at Loch Arkaig.
Very, very wet at Glaslyn. Nothing on the nest - all must be sheltering somewhere.

Loch Arkaig - chicks lying low in the nest with the mist clearing in the background.
Glaslyn - one of the chick is standing at the very edge of the nest. May not be too long before these chicks fledge. Will be interesting to see which of the first two chicks fledge first - KC2 - female or KC3 - male (hatched within a day of each other)

Re: Ospreys
Nothing on the nests. Chick are spending more and more time away from the nest only coming into feed. Even then they sometime take the fish away and eat it elsewhere.
Re: Ospreys
Loch Arkaig - two chick just left the nest. Not sure which male (Doddie or Captain) but the other was Vera. Didn't see the darvic rings clearly but going by the chest markings one was definitely Vera.
