Good morning!

It is feeding time on the nest...chicks are growing so fine!!

What about the ringing, or is it better to say banding? Those two are big enoug to that. Is it going to happen?

In the UK they say ringing but in the USA it is called banding. I would imagine that ringing of these chicks should be due in about 10 to 14 days. It depends on a lot of factors but the main one is that there is no chance of the chicks jumping out of the nest.

I just been looking at the 2008 diary of this nest and there is no mention of ringing the chick.

Tiger, they don't ring the chicks in this nest. I don't think they ever have, but I'm sure Cosworthlady can confirm.

HomEric had another good evening yesterday - fish deliveries at 21.05, 21.15, 21.32 and 21.55!! What's got into him? It must be something in the water! LOL

 

[Cosworthlady]

I can confirm they don't normally approach the nest to ring at Loch of the Lowes. Maybe they'll do it this year but I honestly don't think they will.

My goodness at the fish coming in!!! Has he heard about Tescos through Odin at LG and has decided its easier just to go buy fish!! Is there a Tesco in Dunkeld ha ha ha. I've noticed that Odin as also catching lots more. It must be weather related surely.

 

[Elanor]

Thank you, Cosworthlady!

There It is no need to ring any moor, if and because there are enough information from ospreys flyingways and etc...so I think

One question more How old are HomeErik? That knowledge Idid not find in nest diary.

Hi Ann

Was waiting for your thread about the ringing I asked the staff about this earlier this year
and what they said was the reason for definately no ringing last year was they thought that since 2 eggs failed and only one chick made it, too risky as they thought it would be Marge's last chick So I think they are not doing it this year either as don't want to risk any mishaps which I think is right

By the way the nearest Tesco would be Blairgowie or maybe Perth

He's done it again! Homeric delivered a fish at 15.00, 15.06 and 15.12 today!

They didn't ring 2007 either IIRC.

I wonder if he's been nipping into Tescos then LOL.

There are some beautiful pictures just now of Homeric on his perch some metres away from the nest. he is a handsome lad.

He must be recovering from the exertion of catching those 3 fish! I wondered whether he had caught another for himself, but can't see him holding anything - he's just doing a bit of preening and drying off his feathers - I think it looks as though it's stopped raining there.

The staff haven't been keeping note of how much fish he's been bringing in. I wish they would LOL. I think its got to be around 10!! At least.

The sun is out here now so hopefully out there too. Its a bit breezy though.

Tiger is the one with most of the facts about ages but I think he must be nineteen twenty.

I haven't see him bring any others today when I was watching - Marge just had the chicks snuggled under her trying to keep them dry whenever I looked!

Homer was rung 1991 in Glenisla I was told and I have seen all these fish coming in over the last few days What a complete STAR !!!!

Marge has no ring. Where she is from is anybodies guess. maybe she comes from around your part of the world or maybe she was born in Scotland.

HI, Cosworthlady, and thank You, again!

It is now so peaceful on the nest.) and the mystery of life goes on...

[Cosworthlady]

Its windy up here today so i imagine its something the same at LotL.

I can hear Marge calling/nagging and the chicks look smashing and getting more handsome by the day.
