On 1 July, chick 1 is 30 days old. Chick 2, from egg 3, is 27 days old.
Apart from the sad failure-to-hatch of egg 2 , everything has been reasonably settled on the nest, and Louis is in the running for Mary's 'Fisherman of the Year Award'.

Unknown said:Yes, Aila positively trod on him - still, bit of an over reaction. Thanks Scylla, captures caught video action expertly
Trying, don't know if it was a typo but apart from Louis there are no "him" on the nest. Both chicks are girls despite Rannoch sounding like a boys name (in my opinion). Ian
Trying...who me?......I never said him @Ian
How cute,,,just now.

Three quite loud "coughs" - don't you be sickening for something, Rannoch! :-*And Aila still has much to teach the chicks..... Rannoch didn't even attempt to cover her beak with her wing when she coughed... This younger generations manners, just spread those germs, who cares

It was Cirrus, IAN, and I'd already heads-upped her - she's at work at the mo :)
I understand the association of the name 'Mallie' to this nest..ie...the very close by 'Glen/River Mallie But I am still at a loss trying to work out what the association of the name 'Rannoch' is to this nest. Can anyone help me out?
Birdies LG DU update.

Hi Trying, it is a nod to Liz Bracken, the person who lives near the nest and uses her telescope to provide updates on happenings that the camera can't pick up. Liz was invaluable when the camera was down in 2017 (solar powered battery ran out) & 2018 (lightning strike). See below from Google. Ian
