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 can't have your GSW BOPS'd, it's such an occasion when you post snaps

I dunno about that - I thought it was a squirrel eating a bird
What d'you mean, it says more about my eyesight? Cheek!
Anyway, I've been redeeming myself by biting the bullet (as I said to BART in a PM that s/he will probably never see) and bought a licence for the new downloader, done all the uninstalling and installing and setting up - and it's working, all the relevant cams have been tested A-OK.
So - ask me anything

Ok ... so what's the meaning of life Scylla? Hahaha, feeling flippant!

Glad to hear it. So was I, Wendy, as you may have noticed - flippant, and floating with relief!
As for your question - the answer's a secret

I just did, McCann! And I'm very upset with you for hiding your light under a bushel all this time - but better late than never, thanks so much for those lovely snaps. I do hope you'll favour our pages with your talents very soon
Some of your 'snaps' have made me realise what a half-hearted job I've been doing during the past months' difficulties, hey-ho.
