I haven't done Foulshaw for yesterday yet - you wouldn't believe I've been working all night but I have It's sheer inefficiency, story of my life.
IMAGICAT
22 August
The anonymous first-comer made off with last night's leftover, which was more than a tailend:
462 flew with a skinny scrap found by the thick perch here - she was soon back waiting for more but the weather - misty as commented by PATILY - must make fishing impossible.
It's cleared up now but this post only covers up to 07:00.
I'll stop/restart to see if anything's been brought in.
... ... ...
462's patience was rewarded soon after the mist cleared:
She flew with the big headless fish as soon as 463 flew in - I know it was 463 because she went on to pose exactly as in the last 'portrait' where we can clearly see her ring number - but I liked this view with no ring number ;)
She flew off empty.
Somebody just arrived on this beautifully lit nest; squawked a couple of times and flew off
23 August
Lots of trouble with the 02 cam so I had to resort to the 01 cam, where there's no chance of IDs.
A sentry stayed on duty for "ages":
24 August
Both cams here, PATILY, but I notice some glitches in Cam01.
06:20 - the juvie was screeching off-cam for what seemed like ages before flying in to collect this flounder from YW:
08:50 - a juvie was very disappointed because YW only brought a stick.
This fish was a long time coming:
Add-on - Dad's approach
Conclusion at the end of the day 24th - 463 is definitely still here but can't vouch for the other two.
25 August
05:30 as reported by PATILY:
There were only corvids for the first few hours of daylight, this one found a scrap:
09:13 fish, can't ID receiver, whoever it was grabbed YW's foot good 'n proper, one of them grunted but I haven't tried to improve the sound:
That was it up to 10:00.
25 Aug cont'd
11:00 - the juvie just stood there and took over SIX minutes to claim this fish. Is it because it's the same juvie who got fed less than an hour ago?
Sentry duty again:
Hung around, no-one else arrived, he left:
Another FLOUNDER for supper!
He left some on the nest for tomorow (or for the corvids - we don't know yet):
Shoulda used the other cam, never mind - here was juvie with flounder being stalked by corv:
Definitely #463
Supper video - lots of inactivity included:
