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

Good afternoon (((CC))) It's lovely to see you here again, I'm sorry it's the end of the season and there won't be much to draw you back from now on
I didn't include any PTZ view, the nest was better - there was no more "info" after his fly-off from either cam.
I did these PTZ snaps of his head while I wasn't thinking - maybe they'll come in handy one day:
Looks like the PTZ just found KL5 again, in a tree having a nice preen.

You could (if you wanted to and were able to) post pics 'n things in Osprey Chat or News from Other Nests
Oops! I've BOPS'd KL5, so this is a heads-up for visitors who only look at the last page that he is back there.
