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'.

I left out a couple of glamour shots from when Rannoch was on the nest before the intrusion:
Now Mallie is here, playing with the clump - dang !!! !!! I just did a stop/restart as she fell over >( Not a fatal error, as it turns out, and she had it under control anyway ;)
For a change - Louis unencumbered by family ;)
A quickie movie of his arrival and Rannoc collecting:
Fairly civilised handover:
scylla said:The juvie currently on the nest tucked her leg up just as I peered to ID her...
Rannoch - she stayed 8 minutes:
Then Mallie popped in for under 2 minutes:
Back again for under a minute:
I think this was Mallie again, ring didn't show, from then:
To then:
Just the beginning and ending, Rannoch ate small whole(?) fish in 8 minutes, polishing off the tailfin expertly :o
Constant buffering for a long time.
Edit - Aha! All you have to do to fix it is complain in public ;)
Edit2 - But it comes back :(
