.News from Other Nests 2022
First, a fantastic resource for international cams given to us by LISA K last year:
Nature Chat
Last season we included Tweed Valley (cam not yet up), Alyth and others that I can't bring to mind right now. Let's see how this season goes before deciding which cams may now require their own thread.
IMAGICAT
Lochter latest "Osprey Update We are delighted to announce that our resident Ospreys have successfully hatched 2 chicks over the weekend!! The first hatched during the day on Friday with the second arriving between Saturday and Sunday. Between feeding sessions our female is still sitting tight, so we are hopeful the third egg may hatch over the next day or so."
Misfortune at Barnegat Light
YouTube put a thumbnail of the live stream in front of me so I checked it out (not having looked at all this season, and it can be such an interesting environment) and noticed the dead osprey chick... checked Chat:
This must have been so harrowing for followers
I did some rollback and saw that the female had been "busy", so I recorded some excerpts and edited them, for the sake of showing her behaviour - but I've left out a lot of pecking/picking. There are a couple of incidentals in it, where I left the recording going unattended - I can't do anything else on "this" laptop while screen-capturing.
Another incidental - a terrapin:
Wonderful news Alan. Thanks so much for this informational post
''Three females and one male let's hope they all thrive and make it back one day.Hopefully, someone will spot them in Senegal, '' I say HEAR HEAR to all of this with everything within me
Kind regards, Ann
Black 80 has done a great job raising these 4 chicks with such good weights at ringing. I first visited Glaslyn in 2007 and the last time was 2012. Sadly i have not been able to go back due to various reasons.
Barnegat Light
29 June
I just had a look thru the day via YT rolback and compiled a few clips. A big surprise herein is the "turtle maternity ward", which I'd never seen in previous years. The surviving Osprey chick is doing well and is now sporting a red ring/band.
Captiva
Presumably due to the hurricane, only the PTZ cam looking out to sea is now operative. I looks amazing quiet out there, I only found some waders at low tide.
