Has Rothes left the nest, can only see two chicks on the nest

We think so but she if she did she fledged out of sight and so we cannot be 100% sure.

Glad I could help

Hi Everybody.

On Wednesday the camera router was again fried by a by a big storm. Was watching the camera one minute then the next nothing. They are waiting for the men from BT to mend it again but the weather has been and is still dreadful up there. I am just following Richard's Blogs whenever he has time to write one.

Thankfully LotL's camera went back on line eventually. They had terrible storms up there. Hope LG's camera gets up and running soon.

Both Garten and Mallachie have fledged today and the webcam is back up. They are getting ready to unleash a new online community of LG bloggers, should be interesting

My confession for today?

I prefer this camera to the nest one they have at LG.

Obviously no good when the chicks are wee but when they are this size its brilliant.

We were lucky enough to visit Loch Garten 10 days ago - what a fabulous site and an incredible privillage to see these birds - the live link is just so addictive to watch too.

A couple of weeks ahead of schedule I reckon

Rothes is now in Brittany, the other 2 chicks and both parents are still in Scotland, unbelievable!

 

[Cosworthlady]

She's doing well Fingers crossed she has a safe journey south.

The 2 youngest chicks are still around the nest a lot of the time and Odin and Ej are both still bringing in fish. EJ is expected to go very soon though but I would imagine the rest of the family will be around for another week or two.

If it's your first time you will love it, the staff are fantastic and really well informed.
