Our Osprey family
"Axel", Blue AX6(16) male (yes he does have strong chest markings), a single chick (possibly from 3 eggs) hatched Glen Affric, near Beauly, seen Lossiemouth 2020, then at LG in 2021
"Asha"- Female - Unringed - partnered Axel in 2021.
Axel & Asha (as "Mistle") fled the nest May 2021 due to unknown intruders.
HATCH #1 - 11 June @ 05:30
HATCH #2 - 13 June @ 04:11 (first sighting)
AT RINGING - Quote RSPB Abernethy Facebook "The male BLUE 1C2 is thought to be the older one at 1.5kgs with the female BLUE 1C1 being the younger one at 1.5kgs."

IMAGICAT
1C1 spent a quiet eveninng, 1C2 got the small supper fish and had good flaps either side of it:
1C2 downed the fishtail like a pro:
04 August
Asha popped to the perch for a few minutes @ 05:00, then out to the dead tree.
My internet went down for a few minutes just now
Fortunately it was after 1C2 had deliberately leapt up to the campost.
Since then there's been more flapping on the nest and I see that 1C2 is back down again. I may not be around much longer this morning.
1 c2 has fledged with a fly around 6 56 am ?
Current scene, it looks as tho 1C2 found a tiny scrap to pick at, and 1C1 decided to get up!
I think that 1C2 just flew off to the right - someone's now trying to land on the perch and has succeeded.
I've only got a dim 'n distant view so will have to check when it's safe to stop and replay.
we have 2nd fly around at7 o8am
with a perfect landing
A lovely fledge by 1C2 from the camera pole at 06:55:54 and a first perfect landing..
then multiple takeoffs and landing.. he is sure having fun flying around

Good morning, TREVOR :)))
That fly-off I saw was his THIRD! He fledged @ 07:02 (unless I missed something while my internet was down).
EDIT - Yes I did miss something, and following BART's info I've found it and added it on the front of the original video I posted here - thanks again, BART !!!
Later from perch to campost:

I'm off now - good luck to all trying to keep up with him
