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.

Aww one still there, maybe YW and 35 are having a long lie this Sunday morning :-)
Two snips taken almost 50 mins apart and this juvie still on the nest. It is obviously a stay at home bird :-) Only ever seen this juvie any time I have looked recently.
Good morning Mary, empty nest at 6.50am, I just missed him.
Good Morning Jane
I did look back in and seen it was an empty nest. Always hoping to see a fish delivery, but no such luck.
Blue and White took the opportunity to tidy the nest.
GOOD MORNING ALL
Looks like its windy on all the nests around the country.
We have a lone juvie braving the wind on the nest.
Got a fleeting glimpse of one juvie on the nest just before it flew off.
Took this snip earlier but couldn't post.
One finishing off the tail end, while the other looks on.
One on the nest with fish, a juvie I would imagine. So still around.
First time I have seen any bird on this nest for ages.
By the looks of the cobwebs on the webcam I think they have ALL gone! Does anyone know if there has been a blog about them leaving? I have been away and may have missed it!
