EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Aeron looking for aa chance to take the fish but Eitha too busy helicoptering to bother
Glesni landed and took off a minute later
Glesni back with bedding
Aeron has the fish now
Thanks Patily :)
Some pictures too, to go with all that, complimentary stuff :)
Menai, still highly helicoptering around 11:51h
But then at 15:37h i came back online to find this:
Menai has fledged! Webcam wtachers told me Menai had gone to the campole first, flew about and landed here. A "vertical perch" Ems tends to call this. Anyway, it was not a comfortable spot and she flew back to the nest:
Landing is an art in itself, as is measuring distances...
phew, safely back on the nest. And oooh, hello dad! :)
