Ospreys

[nuthatch]

I was looking at them early yesterday morning, peregrine and thought of you

[peregrine]

Thank you nuthatch.


Looks like wet weather at both nests. All chicks huddled down and their mothers trying to cover them. Not easy the size the chicks are now.

[peregrine]

All chick well through their reptilian stage and a proper little (and getting bigger) Ospreys now.

[peregrine]

All chicks now ringed. Don't think any are satellite tagged.

[nuthatch]

Don't they look well

Loch Garten cam down until tomorrow.

[peregrine]

Yip, they do look well. Cam still down at Loch Garten.

The oldest chick, Rowan, at Loch Garten fledged this morning. Lovely pic of him sitting is a nearby tree. Willow being five days younger may need a few more days before he takes to the skies.

A 11.32 on 11 July 2016 at Loch of the Lowes KPo (eldest chick I think) took to the skies and fledged.
