Dad's been to Nestbase but mum's bemused and chicks unamused: Loch Arkaig Osprey antics 21 Jun 2022

Thanks to Woodland Trust from whose livestream I took this clip. Check out their live camera supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery at https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/ospreys and on youtube: https://youtu.be/cThAEtbegKk

This is a speeded up sequence from 08.13 to 08.24 showing Louis delivering a very strange stick aka half a tree, and Dorcha attempting to deal with it while the chicks try to stay out the way. Speeded up approximately six times.

Music is Elephant Feet performed by Jaglan Beta (composed by Lee Collins), and reproduced here with many thanks under creative commons copyright-free music.

Louis and Dorcha returned on 12th April (https://youtu.be/9p84l65VnYo), laid three eggs on 24 and 27th April, and 1st May. The first chick hatched on 31st May, the second on Jubilee Day 2nd June and the third on 5th June. Sadly the third chick became exposed to inclement weather and passed away on 12th June. The other two are doing fine.
