So, we now enter August knowing that we will only have the pleasure of watching this beautiful family all together for a limited number of weeks.Both LP8 and LR0 have transformed into two strong, independent individuals. Their attentive parents have continued to provide for and nurture them and this, in turn, has given the juveniles a basis to continue their growth into full adulthood, wherever they decide to settle during the next couple of years.Last season, NC0 began her southerly migration on the 22nd August; Laddie on the 25th (these dates were their last webcam sightings). We can only hope that all of the 2022 family have safe, unhindered journeys to warmer climes, aided by fair winds as well as an abundance of fish along the way, and that we will welcome Laddie and NC0 back to this stunning Loch of the Lowes location in the spring of 2023.

Lovely blog, thank you SANDRA! Super little videos but I've had to put the wrap-up video on pause, need to do the rounds first
I note that the dead birch is referred to as the split birch, shall try to remember that for next season, then we'll be on the same page as HQ .

I still haven't finished it but forgot to mention how miffed I was that their Barn Owl didn't glitch in and out like mine did, they got the fly-ins 'n outs
13 September early morning (don't have speakers too high to start out with):
Later, a butterfly
(The original emoji was red but they made the new version yella, dang.)

Well I did and it made bloody jump, what a screeching they make!! You did tell us!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
15 September
One Jay was back this morning having a jolly good preen - stayed right at the front of the nest:
Once again, thanks Scylla, Re the butterfly - was sort of difficult but believe it was a late Peacock warming up in the sun
23 September
Tawny Owl this evening!
I opened this RF box last night to say that the cam was down, but it's sitting here empty now. Well, the cam is still down today.
Here's a pic of the Jay who's visited a couple of times in the last few days:
