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

Thank you for all your lovely snaps, TREVOR. I'm still too exhausted to scroll thru any of my stuff but I'll venture to "announce" something, hoping I'm not jinxing myself.
It seems that a week or so ago Microsoft did something that fixed the network problem I've had since March, which may have been - nay, surely must have been - associated with the downloader crashing. A couple of days ago I set the downloader on auto again and it hasn't crashed... yet!
What a bummer - it was timed to coincide perfectly with the Osprey season, causing untold angst and anguish

Thank you, Trevor - I'm afraid my own internal heat condition is really bad, despite the weather, then I had a big setback with the latest Windows Update breaking my networki again - I've been staying away from everything, going out of my mind with one thing and another
Well, I have been popping in and Liking some posts, plus I did a little Dyfi vdieo for their last day... and I meant to respond to our dear SHEILA but am not in the right frame of mind.
Thank you for thinking of me and wub to all
