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.

GardenBirder, I can't find Arkaig among Tiger & Chloe's data, yet I thought I had previously found Aila's stats there :-/
SheilaFE said:Has she been abandoned? Definitely a case of 'tough love' if not! It's tough for her, and for us!!
I'm ashamed to admit I'm feeling quite sick at the thought of Rannoch being left behind, especially with no fish to sustain her...
But Louis has been quite late with his first fish of the day, so one must think positive ;)
