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.

Ringing is scheduled today so the cam will go offline this afternoon.
The camera did go off, and has been back for some time, but chicks have been sheltering from the rain, so no rings seen yet.
Good Morning ALL
Feed happening just now, cannot see any rings yet.
Sun is making screen a bit glary.
Still cannot see rings :-)
Info taken from the Cumbria WT Webcam Page:
LATEST UPDATE: 1st July: The two chicks were ringed with ID rings yesterday afternoon (30th June); Blue V9 and Blue V8 and it is was noted that it is likely that Blue V9 is a male and Blue V8 is a female. More details to follow in our next Foulshaw Ospreys blog!
Thanks Jane V.
It looks windy all round this afternoon.
Good Morning
One chick standing up flapping wings....
Then settled down again.
