FOULSHAW MOSS, & ALL LAKE DISTRICT NEST OBSERVATIONS 2022

It's good to see you back here doing justice to this nest, PATILY, which I never do

A few fish to show all's well:

YESTERDAY 28 JULY

Not a flounder but a whole trout(?) - there is a camouflaged juvie waiting to receive:

Super whole flounder - except we know how much effort they take to eat - the receiving juve spent a long time on it then another took over and eventually flew off with it!

29 July

Another whole flounder:

This fish seemed to be mostly front-end skin dangling off the meaty rear half:

A single juvie on the nest shouting for breakfast on a nice sunny morning

Completely out of control today - I got 38h20m uninterrupted, the downloader had stopped counting @ 23h59m

I can't tell if Mum is still here but Dad has been delivering faithfully and there are definitely still 3 juvies around.

Breakfish:

Late tea:

Early supper:

2 beautiful juvies on the nest being buffeted by strong wings It is plain what they are waiting for

Much the same scenaro as I saw yesterday except one on the nest and one on the perch.....too far away to see ring numbers I wonder if mum has left?

Blue 6C3, a juvenile from a nest at Roudsea NNR in the South Lake District, intruded at Llyn Clwyedog last evening. His father is Glaslyn born White YC (08) mother is unringed, A quick visit to the Land of His Fathers at the start oh his first migration.

Gosh! What a big gap in reports do we know if all the family is still here

There is at least 1 Osprey at the nest just a,few minutes ago, who flew off carrying a flat fish. I was not able to see it's ring number. Here's the link. cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/wildlife/cams/osprey-cam
