LOCH ARKAIG - The Woodland Trust - June 2020

Thank you for the new thread, KORKY, even tho you've cut me off in my prime

I have to admit that the only pertinent snap I brought with me turned out to be a dupe of Louis taking the fish away

A bit before midnight, but showing the flurries of insects - this one lasted only 30 seconds, they must be touring the nests ;)

What a fine, whole fish @ 04:31:

Louis must have taken the fish away because he's just brought it back.

(I'm not refreshing the page to see if anyone else has posted, you know why!)

Sorry, I should have said that Aila had fed herself and the chick as soon as the fish was delivered.

Hello to a new month & the usual first day slowness of the site. I think the 04.31 fish may be the biggest so far this year, easily falling into the "whopper" category. Ian

2nd Hatch at approx. 8.20 - welcome to the world little one.

Fantastic news, thanks Cathy. Ian

I think BBC news were showing the stream either just before or just after the hatch. There were nearly 2,600 viewers of the stream a couple of minutes ago! Ian

Brilliant news, Cathy.  Many thanks for reporting it.

It's extremely difficult to discern, but there were two heads moving!

It still seems to be struggling to get out of the eggshell properly.
