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'.

Looking pretty miserable in the rain
Rannoch complaining
C WT Loch Arkaig
Aila flew @ 02:48 and I couldn't find her coming back:
Mallie had a stretch and a gape:
Trying said:03-20 am .. Something disturbed Mallie?...I think maybe it was NOT an owl, maybe Aila? flew past.top left and into the night to the rear, Allie having left the nest a while earlier

And this is all I've got of the flyby - thank you, TRYING, for alerting me that my frame had shifted and I've been missing the top!
Rannoch up to flap off water, soon back to lying down:
Temporary daycam:
Distant alarm calls from Aila:
Rannoch ate a bit of it:
That's enough:
Aila came and fed Mallie:
She ate the tail and picked up dropped bits:
They all dozed on their feet:
Strange little episode when Aila approached Rannoch and crouched by her side, Rannoch pecked at Aila's wing:
Mallie did some wingercising and helicoptering, during which time Aila flew:
After lots of pre-fledge-style leaping about, Mallie finally flew:
Rannoch had a poop and got a bit active:
It got misty for a while:
Change of light:
Accidental zoom:
This is the status quo:
09-33 am Headless Fish. Mallie missing...Aila gets the meal, shares some with Rannock...that is until eagle eyed Mallie sees fish and returns for her share.

Good fish:
She soon had to feed Rannoch:
Mallie landed and is now being fed.
Lovely golden fish:
He didn't take it away, by the time I tried to focus Aila had it underfoot and was stood standin' like a 'nana:
No-one moved in for feeding, either, but now I think Rannoch is getting fed.
I'm packing up for a while.
