Ospreys - Loch Garten (1 Viewer)

The constant buzzing from this camera makes my ears hurt. I have 3 other web cams open at the moment and its lovely hearing all the bird song but I have to turn it down when I have EJ on screen. Its a shame because she's a beautiful bird and I love to watch her. Its just uncomfortable.

Try muting just this one video (right click, volume) - I can watch EJ while listening to the Loch of the Lowes!

Last one I caught was before 8pm yesterday (and 3rd chick got almost nothing!) but didn't see what went on this morning early. Usually the LG blog replies are the best place to find when fish have come in, but they haven't uploaded a batch for a while - but if you keep checking there you'll probably find out.

I don't think there's been anything this morning - I have been on and off since about 7am and haven't seen any food being eaten. I did hear a cuckoo earlier - EJ's face was a picture as she listened to it! Where is OVS?

Hi Folks,

At last I got to see 3 wobbly youngsters early this morning but EJ sat down too quick for me to get a photo. Birds must have a thing about photos, where I am concerned anyway I have the same trouble at home, see a camera and they are off.

Food at last

 

[Osprey Fan]

At last, a fish! What's taken him so long? Anyway, they are all tucking in now, but the wee one is at the back and getting ignored. Come on EJ, give it some please.

 

[Osprey Fan]

Oh good, the little one has just got some too, but not as much as the others.

 

[Saphire]

I had to go away from the computer did the little one get some food and was it enough.

I think so because they all stopped begging before the fish was finished.

Thanks Tiger I am so glad to hear that, onece the little one gets stronger it should be able to push it way forwards, well at least I hope so.

I am reminded of my favourite clip ever in watching ospreys. In this clip the little one called Flag uses strange tactics to get a meal.

It is still great to watch but live it was beyond compare as Flag so needed a meal.

Two clips of the youngsters, shame little one isn't in view.

You should upload them onto BirdforumTV. Just give RSPB credit and its ok.

Big fish has just arrived, and being gobbled down fast - chick no. 3 still at the back. His biggest brother/ sister had just been pecking the others to show who's boss, when mum was off the nest.

 

[Trossachs]

Ok - he's cracked it now and wriggled his way to the front to get a few mouthfuls by getting his head out in front. Looks like he's going to be fine, so can relax and go to cook dinner!

A fish was delivered 11:41 this morning, after an apparent long wait for breakfast. It's the first one I've seen, as I've only recently discovered the video link (after reading this thread), looks like you've got me hooked too!

Long update on the blog - summary - all's well and OVS brought in 4 fish yesterday!
