Female Blue 35 - Hatched 2010 - Kielder 1 nest
Male White YW - Hatched 2008 - Bassenthwaite
Last year, Female Blue 35 arrived first, at 1pm on 30 March 2022, followed by the male White YW at around 7.30pm that evening (in 2021 they both returned 26 March).
Hoping for their safe, spring migrations and another another successful season.
*In special memory of Starling (RIP) and Patily (RIP) who both loved watching and reporting on the FM nest*
06 June - again cropped from 360 cam. Waiting for breakfish, YW brought something unfishy and seems to be watchful. The chicks did all stand up at the same time briefly but the parents weren't co-operating for my shot at the time.
IMAGICAT
07 June - fron 360 cam
All 3 lay low when Blue35 brought in a menacing-looking clump (well, it was cloddy, not made of soft stuff):
08 June
YW dumped a stick on the chicks this morning - they kinda managed to extricate themselves, then 35 flew back in and shifted it away.
Both chicks looking really good. Thank Scylla
OK accepted Sandra but I only saw two ''standing''' up and looking strong so I can only suppose the third was sleeping.
Coincidentally I just came here to post this:
I can't get a good shot of them from what I have this morning.
I hope you can make them out - I had to do lots of work on it because they're so well camouflaged
All 3 looking good:
