Sadly the month of August could see the departure of the Lowes Famiily, it has been a great season for them with 3 beautiful juveniles, may they all stay safe and have long lives ahead of them.
Two on the nest at the moment.

FR3 and 4 both with a fish each again, are they fishing? and bringing them back I wonder.
Bird at top just flown , I think taking the Fish with it.
GOOD MORNING ALL
One on the nest nodding off and another eating!
When I went back to check webcam it was an empty nest, then one flew in and was shouting, next thing another flew in and is now preening. I thought maybe a fish was in the offing but so far nothing.
They were indeed waiting for a Fish, think Laddie flew in as tagged bird had flown FR2 had free grabs then tagged back, adult flew off and FR2 is eating and still shouting Pics to follow...
