Looks like all the chicks can feed themselves once a fish has been brought to the nest by an adult.

Couple of chicks on the nest. One of the chicks (and just out of nappies) has ventured 10 miles from the nest and returned.

No word of the female - has she left already.

Looks like EJ from Loch Garten has gone. She hasn't been seen since 11 August.

Female from Loch of the Lowes may have started her migration as well. She was last seen on 12 August. All three chicks are on the nest at the moment.

Odin is heading for Africa. Last seen 3pm on Friday 21 August.

At Loch of the Lowes, FR3 set off on 18 August and is in France. FR2 which does not have a tracker hasn't been seen for a week so assumed heading south. The male and FR4 are still around. Season is definitely over.
