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

SheilaFE said:perhaps Brodie is still here, but it's a shame he didn't bring a fish y'day.
And I am very disappointed that Brodie has done no end-of-season nestorising whatsoever - it's been rubbed in by Dylan's enthusiasm at Clywedog, and thinking back to Odin and his supposed crossed sticks

trevor l said:nice sun rays with spider
With spider:
And later the sun moved to the side, so here is "without spider":
After 11:00 there was a flurry of little birds, dimmed out by the squatter but I did recognise a Chaffie... Checking the PTZ, there were quite a lot and for quite a while, but no-one was on duty to zoom.
I am going to stick my neck out and say that looks like it for this year Just to prove me wrong Brodie will turn up ?
coffee time BBS.
Wow, thank you Scylla. Awesome captures (with or without spidie)
Methinks Trevor is probably right . Brodie enjoying intruder free 'me' time and slowing wending his way south.
