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
Well spotted Trevor and thanks for the info

I was a bit worried I might not have it, there's been so much buffering today!
Nothing more seen up to a couple of minutes ago.

Looks like we'll be retiring together, TREVOR - my new ££ downloader has started crashing repeatedly
I've got the PTZ on a screen, so that's safe. Lotsa little birdies around 06:45 this morning, but too tiny for a video or even snaps.
Will you doing the LG Bird cam later , when LG centre closes There again when you have seen one squill you seen the all ??? The Aussie cam have 3 egg's now the due hatch date 1st Oct
GOOD LUCK WITH RECORDER /Downloader

If I can get back to normal I'll probably give it a day or two, see how the autumn birdies change ???

I won't be following it - it gives me a bad feeling somehow. But BART will give comprehensive coverage, I think - s/he's probably already started, not sure where the posts are...
You may already be aware of Bart's Port Lincoln info web page/, maybe all the posts go on one or more of the Facebook pages shown.
I'm logging off now. I haven't tried to do any repairs, I've got the 2 Glaslyn cams manually downloading and the LG PTZ recording on a screen and I'm not going to worry about a thing
My PTZ buffered for more than an hour, seemed to recover, then buffered from 13:56 back to 23:51 last night, I've only just refreshed it to an apparently live cam.

Looks like the IR may be on the blink - we have an almost black screen.
EDIT
It was only because dawn was close - I didn't realise it was so "early".
This bird popped on 'n off my screen is a scroll-thru a one-hour clip - then I couldn't find it again, I had to divvy it up into 10-minute sections!
Subsequently, 2 hours of study allow me to confidently ID it as a SPARROWHAWK, and I will brook no argument
One feature which confused me was the apparent vertical "stripes" under its chin, before the usual horizontal bars on the rest of the front. So I may have to brook plenty of arguments
Absolutely tiny on the nest cam:
