Link to August thread
Aila left on 13 August and Mallie on 20 August. Rannoch failed to follow the weekly departure pattern and we're were still enjoying her noisy company on 31 August. But not so many fish for her today and perhaps Louis is encouraging her to leave.
It's been a happy nest, mostly, this season, apart from the failure to hatch of egg 2. Let's hope Aila and Louis come back next year and we see both Mallie and Rannoch again in a couple of years.
EDIT. Louis was last seem on Thursday 5 September and Rannoch on Friday 6 September.

IAN's informative post was BOPS'd:
There is a TV programme on BBC Alba tonight (and presumably thereafter on BBC i-player) called Dhan Uisge, which is roughly translated as Into Water. This is a short ten minute programme where a wild swimmer swims in Scotland. The episode tonight is about Loch Arkaig. Ian
Thank you, Ian :)
Quite an unusual morning so far.
I'd like to say I'm going to miss that screeching.

If there was 'someone' on the pole tree, they were very, very still.
