I think it'll be the thunder that has put the link out, Ann.

We've had some cracking storms since lunch-time and, although the sun's making an effort here just now, it looks awful black over by Dunkeld!

Good Morning Elanor great news an empty nest. Thought Wee Eck was thinking about it at Midnight our time as he/she was looking out from the edge. Must be hard being left on your own watching your sibling enjoying flight.

Yes. Thanks so much for the updates

Nest is empty at 4.30 bst/ Anyone seen them today?

 

[Cosworthlady]

Can't see them but I can hear Marge and at least one chick. Wonder where they are hiding LOL

Hi, Cosworthlady

The life goes very well on the Marges empire)

But I have to ask, are there in LOL white-tailed eagels or eagle owl, the only threats for ospreys at least in Finland?

JHi Elanor.

I have never heard of an eagle owl mentioned by anyone so i presume not.

A white tail sea eagle youngster was seen last year but nothing came of it. I had no idea that they preyed on Ospreys. in fact I thought they could live side by side harmoniously as they hunted in different ways. Just shows you how wrong you can be. d

There are very few eagle owls in Britain.

Hi

What is the expression to that age, when you are asking all the time?
I am in tha age now:-O

Is it possible that Oor can catch fish..it seem so...but, if yes, then it is precocious? And is that possible?

I wondered myself if he could catch fish because it seemed as if he appeared with one by himself a few hours ago. Surely not though.

Can anyone help us out with an answer?

Cheers

PS Elanor i have been that age for a long time ha ha ha

 

[Elanor]

Hi Elf
Welcome back - looks like both chicks on nest just now. Correction both just left nest just now.

 

[A CHAPLIN]

Hi Folks,

I notice Marge still wants to feed her chicks and am sure she likes being mum, the longer she feeds them the longer they need her.

Can hear them all on or around the tree and I can see Marge's tail as she sits on her usual perch.

Hi All
Was along at the LOTL today and this is what I saw. Really sad to see the empty nest but good in another way as means successful breeding season for Marge and Homeric
By way of consolation Marge turned up at the nest later

Hi Elf

Like you said sad but glad all at once. I think they have excelled themselves this year. 3 successful hatchings with healthy chicks only for mother nature to come down hard on them with the rotten weather and caused the loss of fat Boab.

When do you think she will leave. She left early last year. Want to get up next week if at all possible to catch a glimpse of her before she heads off.

Hi Ann

Yes if you can I would head up soon as I think she will go beginning Aug as chicks are needing her less & less now I was more happy with her yesterday as she looked much better than the last time I was there 2 weeeks ago


Marge, She's lovely !!

I have not managed to take my 80+ parents up there yet this year as we were all down South for a family 'do'. They do enjoy the run and seeing the birds live if possible. Guess I better try this weekend as well, summers seem to disappear faster since starting Osprey watches or is that just age?
