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

Why didn't I think of that ............. Thank you Scylla
Well I did and I did view full screen but, nope, could not detect anything in the Ravens beak . Never mind, I enjoyed the Raven's bouncy castle
Spanking handsome little chappie . Thank you Trevor

scylla said:this Raven, on the other hand... I could swear it flies off with something in its beak
Had another couple of looks at this vid Scylla and I think that Raven flying past the greeery on tree in the background with it's beak open gives the illusion of something carried in it's beak?

Yes, I kept replaying that bit and you can probably see better than I could - thanks as always, Wendy
Lovely snap, TREVOR - I started going thru the day but the heat is defeating me, I'll have another go overnight, hoping it'll be cooler or at least not so hot
Selective vids!
Great Tits:
I did the earlier unzoomed Stonechat but decided to use only the zoomed - also cropped for even closer view. But how sad that I'd forgotten to monitor the nest cam that provides the sound, and it wasn't working
A deer under/behine the nest:
Then I found it crisscrossing the whole screen twice!
