Here's wishing the youngster a safe journey and return!! Au revoir 1H3
Just now, 1H1 is on the nest shouting for dinner
Morning ALL
06:28 1H1 jumps down from the cam post as 33 approaches with a large fish for her
soon tucking in
07:01 1H1 starts screeching, something annoying her
07:14 1H1 continues to tuck in
07:17 Maya joins 1H1
a gull then pesters them
1H1 flies off leaving Maya screeching, protecting the fish
She then grabs the fish and flies off with it
Today, 1H1 is 100 days old
patily said:She looks magnificent and no wonder look at the fish she gets I so hope we hear of her in the future
Yes, she looks in fantastic condition and when she’s ready for breeding will be a fine catch for a single male!
1H1 landing on the nest at 16:22 in frame-by-frame slowmotion. Happy 100th birthday :-)
