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
All apologies (excuses! ) accepted!
Sid had a good flyabout after the fish delivery - Harry decided he was an intruder:

Hi CIRRUS - I can't find any sign of it on either cam around the time you posted (a very strange time for a bat), despite playing it back in real time - there was a lot of buffering on the PTZ.
2C4 has done some good helicoptering:
I've been labouring over a video but now abandoned it in favour of lunch and "work" elsewhere, so here's the latest fish - which has probably been posted already but I've had the RF open for hours.
12:59 - and 2C5 claimed it:
