No chicks on either nest at the moment.

Looks like another wet day at Glaslyn.

Dry so far at Loch Arkaig.

Very, very wet at Glaslyn. Nothing on the nest - all must be sheltering somewhere.

Don't think it was the same fish but Captain (JJ7)has just eaten probably at least half a large trout. He left it and moved away. Doddie (JJ6) nipped in and grabbed it and moved to other side of the nest to feed. Don't think I have seen Vera (JJ8) all day.

Captain (JJ7) on the nest alone and having a feed. Fish is a flatfish. Not sure how far Loch Arkaig is from the sea.

Loch Arkaig - nothing on the nest

Glaslyn - KC3 alone on the nest and tucking into breakfast.

I have had a single LTT come into the feeders but this is rare. Usually there are six or seven that come to the feeders. Only come for a coupke of days and then they disappear for a long time.

This is what I saw just outside my garden, by the fence

I'm not sure but I think the victim is a dove
RIP

Looks like you have a Sparrowhawk in your neighbourhood.

Loch Arkaig - Doddie, Captain and Vera all on the nest

Glaslyn - wet - looks like only KC4 on the nest and tucking into a big breakfast

Another flat fish brought in at Glaslyn,

Yip! Looks like all chicks from both nests have fledged. Come August, the females will be thinking of migrating and another season will start to draw to a close.

Best about this season, both nests have fledged three chicks each.
