I suppose its my fault for posting this morning on the May thread :-).... I completely forgot all about it and it wasn't until I noticed Limpy had started a new thread for DYFI that it occurred to me LOL...
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Latest update on Facebook
"We ringed the Manton Bay chicks this morning. All three looked in fantastic condition. Here are T8 and T6. T8's larger bill and head suggest that she is a female, whereas smaller T6 is a male. T7 is somewhere in between, but we think a female.
Thank you Alan. Link.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thanks ALAN and MIKE
Chicks alone. There has been a bit of wing flapping.
33 arrives on the nest and is now with the three chicks. No sign of Maya.
Chicks alone in a huddle
Fish has been delivered and Maya is feeding the chicks.
Morning all - thanks for all the updates. Great to see the chicks ringed and that all went smoothly
About 10 minutes ago, 33 stands on the edge of the nest with a fish .. no sign of Maya
33 drags it over to the other side
And with his back to the chicks ... eats. Chicks up but not approaching for food nor has 33 attempted to feed
now ... 33 still eating, chicks settled and still no sign of Maya
