There’s not much to say to you all this week except that the three chicks are growing fast and the youngest chick will be two weeks old on Sunday (31 May).
Due to the assortment of weather this week - we’ve had everything from heavy rain to glorious sun - the mother has been busy protecting the chicks from the rain and shading the chicks from the hot sun, trying her best to keep the chicks cool.
The father continues to bring back four to five fish a day; and in another two weeks the chicks will be old enough to be ringed.
We’ve also seen several other ospreys in the area over the last week – these aren’t the same ones as at the start of the season - both parents have chased them away from the nest successfully.
