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
We've been on a bit of a tour.
Lovely sky with buffering:
Unknown subject:
Currently on the blossoming heather that SHEILA remarked on yesterday... or the day before?
From those lovely skies suddenly rain tipped down just before 13:30 and has kept going.
This critter - either a large insect or a tiny bird, was onscreen for less than one second in total, entering fro the right and disappearing out of the top:

Both cams a-buffering.
Buffering stopped all by itself:

Oh-oh-oh !!!
I just went to find the Chaffie and Coal/Great Tit who were on the nest together earlier, then realised I haven't been recording since 05:32 because Windows did an update on that laptop without asking - again !!!
Coffee #2 is in order, SYAL.
