Thanks Starling, I've just read the blog. It looks as tho all three are doing well, despite the midges that Diana mentioned!! Ugh
Not a nice day there at all. I can imagine the damp midgey sticky day!! I see their time is behind real time.

The two surviving chicks at Loch Doon are doing well - update from their FB page I can't give a single link, this is a general page link
One chick was reported on 6 June has having died
Excellent news for Llyn Brenig. Blue 24(10) and Blue HR7(14), their single chick has been ringed - Blue KA5 - and is a male.
Please let me know if I should have posted it elsewhere.

A few captures taken today just before the cam went off.
Fish on the nest, however chicks don't look particularly hungry.
Finally a taker.
I don't have permission to directly post photos taken by Gary Jones at Llyn Brenig, but his professional FB page is public, so if you are able, do check them out. They are truly amazing, some with the 'awww' factor, and the one of the platform shows how dangerous it can be ringing birds! Gary Jones Wildlife Photography
Llyn Brenig running a poll for two proposed names for Blue KA5(19)m on their FB page
John Williams, who observes and comments on the Clywedog nest, with Dylan and Delyth, started a FB closed group some time ago. Today he gave details of the ringing of the three chicks on the nest, and although it is a closed group he told me "It's public now, as soon as I post it, it's public", and "That's fine, please feel free".. to post it here, so.. with thanks to John.
The numbers are running on from Dyfi KA1-3, Glaslyn KA4 and KA0, Llyn Brenig KA5, and now Clywedog KA6-8
Afternoon all, today we ringed the chicks. All look very healthy. I believe there to be 2 females and 1 male.
The females were ringed KA6 she weighed 1320 and was the youngest chick
and KA7 the middle chick weighed 1420. Both these two had thicker legs than KA8 the male.
The male and the oldest chick is KA8 weighed 1440.
