link to JUNE 2022
1st fish of July 2022 arrived at 07.34. Not too shabby an effort! Headless trout delivered by LJ2 whilst LM6 was off the nest. She soon followed on to collect the fish.
It looks like it was a nice calm morning.
LM6 and the chicks got a couple of feeds off this fish before LJ2 took it away. He returned with what was left at around 10.40.
LJ2 started eating it on the nest. Chick #2 came to see if it could get any and LJ2 gently fed it a few pieces before finishing it off.
20.33 and another small whole fish brought to the nest from LJ2. LM6 is doing her nest improvements.
LJ2 decides to do the feeding this time.
Wednesday 20th July
What a lovely early breakfast LM6 delivers to her chicks. A good sized headless fish.
LM6 lands next to KA9 who is quickly up to take it from his mum.
However, the chicks didn’t manage to eat much and LJ2 flew in around 06.15 and took the fish away.
07.40 LJ2 brings back the remainder of the fish. KA9 is up again first to receive it.
09.17 and the fish has been lying on the nest for a while. LM6 takes it and feeds the chicks.
13.02 LM6 brings another fish to the nest. A whole, live one this time.
X6 feeds first
then KA9 comes over to feed too.
16.04 LM6 flies onto the nest to arrive just before LJ2 lands with a small live fish.
LM6 takes the fish, watched by everyone
X6 calls to be fed whilst KA9 does some wingercising behind LM6.
When he’s finished his flapping, KA9 joins X6 for a feed and settles in behind her.
The wingercising with little jumps is becoming more frequent. Expecting helicoptering soon. May only be a few days until they fledge with X6 being 50 days old tomorrow and KA9, 48 days old.
x6 starts off
when she stops, KA9 begins.
