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
KL5 attacked the boys, now buzzing repeatedly.
IMAGICAT
Round One
Round 2
I wonder whose feather it was?
Empty nest since then. Wherever is Brodie?!
This corvid had been hanging around in a tree in the distance, now it gave the nest a twirl (2-in-1 snap):
08:26 - 2C5 flew in to defend vs unseen intruder, he is still there mantling now:
I'm off to the kitchen, but am not really awake.

Too dopey to do anything, so I've been able to witness KL5 arrive back on the perch... now attacking poor Sid viciously bu has been repelled !!!
Oh no! Back to buzzing, now there's no-one on the nest, must see what happened to 2C5.

Well if he in not defending or fishing HE MUST BE HIDEING Like earlier in the year

I think she must be on the way to Africa :(((
Round 3
I'm surprised no-one at the VC has panned around to find 2C4, am worried about him now - has his wound opened up?
Definitely off to the kitchen now.
Think this was the last time 2C4 was seen, into the trees on the far left
