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.

Just a small portion, Rannoch looks quite miffed:
But she's continuing to make a huge racket, just standing over her fish... screaming as if another fish is on the way, funny shrieks like before she flew off with the first fish.
Must hear ;)
Rannoch returned a few minutes ago (more minutes by now!! 12.03ish). A mix of calling, watching, preening, contemplating
Where's Dad, with a decent sized fish?
