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.

This is the brief appearer, was it a Willow Warbler? Or what?
Rannoch came in and started on the oldest nestover, the only one that remained:

I hate the tail bits
But you know I love them so you posted it anyway... thanks, KORKY :-* Your snap goes in here.
Rannoch returned and waited from here:
To here:
Large flapping (but soon died) flounder - Rannoch in no hurry! Good light, so here's a video but see SHEILA's snaps:
16:48 a nice whole trout(?):
Snapped towards the end of a 15-minute wait:
No time for duties but hours to waste (mainly due to her billhook being lost in a tiny blur, had to try to paint in a suggestion) on portrait at the end of her season:
That was the last time Rannoch appeared for the day.
Arkaig's fairy flyers were even more frantic last evening and closer to the cam, but I won't post video out of respect to RSPB Arkaig fans ;)
