Just a quick update tonight but what an update!!
As mentioned earlier, our chicks at Loch Frisa were ringed last Wednesday. One of the guys working for the Forestry Commission (Scotland) who was helping took some photos of the chicks. It is just so exciting to be able to see them so close rather than staring at them through a telescope and binoculars. They will be 8 weeks old tomorrow and are ever edging closer to fledging. They fledge at about 12 weeks and that's when their adventures will reallly start, venturing out into the big wide world - but more of that when it happens and of course, we will keep you posted.

If you are following the Estonian webcam, you will see that their chicks were ringed too, a couple of days before ours. live sea eagle webcam
