Link to July 2019 thread
The 2 chicks were ringed on 4 July and assessed as female. They were given ring numbers JJ0 and JJ2, and later named by popular vote as Mallie and Rannoch. Both weighed 1.49kg on ringing but will weigh a lot more now after a further month's-worth of protein-packed-piscine-parenting. The WT subsequently said they thought Mallie may be male. S/he fledged on 20 July and Rannoch on 27 July.

Good morning, MIKE :) I've just done a quick check-back (had forgotten to lift the lid)...
First on the nest, after a zip-by, was Louis with a fish:
Mallie collected it, no probs that I could see in haste:
Mallie flew with the fish, Rannoch turned up far too late, waited around and left:
G'night all!

10.25, small, whole fish delivery by Louis. Rannoch is marginally quicker than Mallie so gets the fish. Ian
Yup. I've got fish and you haven't.
I though there was a rule that any fish caught under 6" had to be put put back?
