LOCH GARTEN 2024 - May to end of season

Simply lovely ''cameos'' of the chaffie Scylla. They look like book illustrations . Thank you so much. And the video with the Mistle Thrush again , just charming. I love its vocals and I think in all likelihood it was calling for its 2024 brood but love the way you  caught it eyeballing the Chaffie.

And, what a fabulous blue sky.

Scylla, a question, please. I have a link for the UK Osprey information, on my tablet, that I must have found on an Osprey thread. We have a new poster, I was able to pass on information from that link, following a photo of an Osprey with a darvic ring. 

Can I pass that link onto them, I have searched some Osprey threads where there were lots of links, but can't find it?

Here you go, CATLADY

Not sure why I deemed it necessary to do screenshots - overkill?

.

EDIT - For a permanent record, I've added the link to the Osprey Chat & CAM LINKS OP - much good may it do us, as that thread sinks without trace every year

We've had Mistle Thrush, GSW, Jay and many, many littler birdies today - plus this unusual "visitor" (sorry it's misty, you shoulda seen the untreated version!) - I hope there are plans for a cam to be set up on it:

There have been several outages but the cams are OK at the mo.

There was a huge hole in its left cheek, thru which the grass on the nest could be seen - I've filled it in as best I can but don't put your magnifier on it

.

Snow on that thar hill - it lessened on the 26th:

Oh my goodness..  what  on earth  caused the hole. I'm really upset as how can the bird possible eat and swallow    !!!!!

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, CIRRUS - but just in case you're serious, I'll remind you of the "fault" common to all WildlifeWindows' cams - they create "artifacts" in the picture, especially when birds are flying - I've often had to paint out detached primaries from the sky, for example.  In this instance, the cam created a see-thru hole in the tit's cheek!

Sadly, you've reminded me of the poor injured Mourning Dove who had a hole in its crop from which seeds emerged as fast as the birdie ate them - that was on the feeder in Akron Ohio, where guns abound

Only the Mistle Thrush and a Chaffinch were zoomed on today:

.

This one on the nest zoomed itself:

Hope you are up and running again soon Scylla, well, not literally!

Reconnected yesterday :)))

Mid-morning today - another Chaffie self-zoomed - I took out a detached bit of wing and the perch sticking out of its head:
