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.

I wonder if that's BART's introduction to ENS, Catlady? Just in case it is - it stands for Empty Nest Syndrome, Bart, and gets used quite nonsensically at times but we know what we mean
Thanks, Catlady!

I'm investigating this (but still clearing up mess from last evening's tech turmoil):
WRONG THREAD !!! Sowwy!
03 September:
(Sorry it's so big and grainy, I should have downsized the individual snaps prior to making gif - I don't do gifs often so it's still a learning curve.)
EDIT - I uploaded it instead of drag-n-drop, and set the width @ 320 and the depth at nothing, and it's not as big now but still very grainy - never mind ;)))

The problem was it was far too big on the page and very, very grainy - which it still is, even tho I've made it smaller. LotL doesn't like zooms unless the cam people do it

A few Chaffies... I think!
I hope that the dear frequenters of this thread will be more obliging than others, who don't bother to watch my videos and help me with IDs.

Yes Chaffies Scylla but I thought I also caught a sighting of a different species, just one of, but it all went so quickly that despite stopping and starting the video numerous times I just couldn't ID it.
