Link to July 2023 thread
July proved to be a less nail-biting month than June. Brodie re-appeared early on the 1st and delivered fish (including flounder) to the nest every day bar 1 thereafter, with a record count of 7 on the 21st. Asha also fished and delivered a salmon on the 3rd, as well as quite a few sticks, not least one to replace the sticky-up stick on the nest that got removed on ringing day - 12th July. We have 2 boys, as only 7% of those surveyed had predicted. 2C5 (oldest) became Sid (Vicious) and 2C4 (youngest) is Harry (Nilsson). We had some cracking snaps particularly from the PTZ camera, a 2am fish, self-feeding started, and wing-flapping and helicoptering. Bets are on for a fledge or two very early in August. Sid is 58 days and Harry 56 days on the 1st of August

what happened to the Chaffee, Coal tit, and Great tit,
Hello David, welcome to the forum with the mad Ospreyholics!! You have been busy, taking all those lovely pictures. The only problem I had was actually seeing them all, as I am not on Instagram, it keeps freezing and asking you to sign in or make an account, I had keep going in and out. Hopefully we will hear from you next year, and you can take part in our discussions. Scylla, do not be beating yourself up about your photos, nowt wrong with them, okay!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
TREVOR, it was a Chaffie and either/or Coal/Great Tit - I didn't pay must attention because I assumed I'd be able to fetch it up and have a good look later, only to find there was nothing there! I think it was that that forced me to gird me loinz and buy the new software.
CATLADY - it was McCann's terrific PTZ shot of poor 2C5 being tipped off the nest that really hit home - not that I'd be able to do a mini-repeating-movie like he and BART have done. It really crestfell me

BTW - When did we last see GARDENBIRDER?
(You'll probably tell me it was only a short while ago, but somehow I'm missing her.)
I saw her in the feather on Tuesday 5th July but I have not seen her since.
