I think that as Foulshaw Moss has such a good webcam, it would be better to have its own Thread. I hope others don't mind.
The webcam is up and running now.
The male, identified by his 'White YW' leg ring, hatched at Bassenthwaite in 2008. The female, identified by her 'Blue 35' leg ring, hatched at Kielder in 2010. Their three youngsters born in spring 2015 can be identified by their blue leg rings: V2 and V3 appear to be female, and little V4 (the last chick born) a boy.

Chicks uncovered :-)
Some nice shots there Mary.
Birdies LG DU update.
Just pure luck Mike, viewing when the chicks were uncovered :-)
Absolutely fascinating to watch this morning. Both 35 and YW were on the nest feeding both chicks, they were at the very edge of the camera view, then YW decided to stand right in front of the webcam moving a stick.
Great grabs Mary, they are certainly getting bigger.
Jane they grow so fast, no wonder with all the fish they get stuffed into them :-)
35 brooding at the moment, on a lovely morning!
Not sure what has got into 35, but she has decided to parade around the nest trying to place a twiggy branch! The GEM's have been clobbered a couple of times, would have been better a video of it, I think she has finally made up her mind where to put it LOL
It's misty this morning at FM. 35 tries to brood :-)
Cannot believe no one has posted in this thread since I left on 8th June.
Anyway a feed is taking place at the moment, and the GEM's are just that!
There is half a fish left and 35 has gone, probably sitting to the side or on cam post.
