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

Just for the record, showing what may be the last we see of KL5 this season:
And after I'd checked that he didn't go to the nest, I continued scrolling thru the PTZ and that resulted in a little piece entitled:
"We need to revisit our Pine Marten defences"

Fab name
I had been mentally calling him Kyle (thinking "Kyle of Lochalsh"), but Klive is so much better - congrats and thanks to Fergus
