Oh, well done, Glider!
Your pic, cropped and enlarged
Zoomed in, cropped and rotated. What do you think? Possibly FR1 (2015 male, ringed in Perth)? I thought LR1(21) from LotL at first when I saw the number one!
At least it’s a dry, clear day here at Alyth. Lovely sky early this morning just before 06.00
Flora got treated to a wee fish at 11.34
She seemed to be transferring it from her beak to her talon but took off before she’d completed it.
So she left the nest holding the fish with both beak and talon at the same time.
12.43 Flora telling Harry that was a very small fish and she could do with another!
Well well, Harry was being a good listener! Just over 2 hours later he came up with the goods.
14.57 a whole fish delivered to the nest. Quite unusual looking.
A very happy Flora leaves with the fish in her beak.
21.57 Still so light at this time of night
Wednesday 10 May
05.16 A very early morning fish for Flora. If anybody was asleep within an 10 mile radius, they’ll be awake by now!!!
Flora transfers the fish to her talons this time.
16.18 Having eaten her fish, Flora is seen returning to the nest being chased by corvids below. (magnified)
It’s quite a close chase
The corvids are back in their tree.Flora walks around Harry to get him to rise off the eggs.
It looked like Harry was thinking about chasing the corvids.
But after a few minutes, he turned and flew off the other side of the nest.
10.15 Flora brings in a flattened plastic bottle to the nest.
16.32 Fish delivery
Fish delivered and taken within 12 seconds.
