Not been on much recently. Too much going on plus the wife had had cataract Surgery.

Loch Arkaig has three chicks
Poole Harbour has four chicks. Big size difference between the first and last hatched chicks. Webcam showing the chicks at the moment.
Thanks for the update. Let's hope the chicks all fledge.
Good luck to the wife.

Loch Arkaig - smallest chick has dies and still lying in the nest.

Poole Harbour - still four chicks. Fourth chick is much smaller that the other three. They have just been fed and the fourth chick didn't appear to get as much food as the others.

One of the osprey nest that has been put up has been commandeered by a pair of Egyptian geese. Looks like they are nesting.
