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

Looks like line on leg and neck
He's looking around to see if anyone is coming. He has been nest cupping/kicking the egg out? It has moved up the side of the nest.
Looking very much at ease as he did last year
.
But keeping an eye open, just in case. The egg is behind him
Well spotted, Trevor. It's not obvious tho.
He arrived at 18.32 and checks all around
19.14 he gets sthe egg between his legs having 'nibbled' at it. Then nestorised. Failed to remove the egg.
18.26 he drops to the bowl, checking the egg as he did so. moved a few sticks - all the time keeping an eye on the hinterland.
19.21 a crop drop
19.36 he is still there, and down in the nest cup again, lying down as tho incubating, but not on the egg
Sadly I can't be more thoro, I have to go.
