06:38 Paul & Ruth Boughton Morning Greeneyes, they all had a good feed from the fish.
06:47 Greeneyes Good morning Ruth & I love how they are all back having a nap.
06:48 Paul & Ruth Boughton I could join them, I’m wiped out by the antihistamines
06:49 Greeneyes Oh no are you on lots?
06:50 Paul & Ruth Boughton Have been badly bitten, was unable to move my arm , but thankfully improving.
06:53 Greeneyes Goodness Ruth that sounds awful. What bit you if you don’t mind me asking?
06:55 Paul & Ruth Boughton Not a clue, probably a horse fly. I always react badly to bites
06:57 Greeneyes Oh those are nasty iv managed to avoid being bitten by them so far but my husband gets big lumps from their bites & just smaller lumps from midges
07:01 Greeneyes Flora is fish calling
07:03 Paul & Ruth Boughton Fortunately not any midges in Epsom

07:56 Paul & Ruth Boughton Morning Juniper. Thanks for checking 🥰
07:58 Juniper If they were to dangle their legs a bit more in flight it would help!

09:02 Paul & Ruth Boughton Good to see you here Victor, isn’t it wonderful to have the camera back.
09:03 Juniper Morning Patrick and Victor

09:06 Paul & Ruth Boughton Morning Val, the twine keeps reappearing, hopefully it will get buried in the nest and the chicks will be safe.
09:08 Val Gall Chick on right walked to side of nest. Twine was dragging

09:12 Val Gall Hi Victor HK0 (female) hatched 2014 near Loch Awe
09:13 Juniper Yes Squish, got home yesterday. We saw the Poole ospreys - mum CJ7 and chicks on the nest and dad 022 riding the thermals above us. It was great!
09:14 Victor Pearson Thanks@Val Gall !
09:14 Patrick Mc Phail hi to everyone 😊 tried to say it earlier but this terrible slow mode keeps me from posting!,
09:15 Paul & Ruth Boughton Thank for the ts Val 😢
09:16 Paul & Ruth Boughton Hello @ISquishWorms and anyone I have missed. Sounds great Juniper
09:17 ISquishWorms Morning @Patrick Mc Phail :)
09:17 Juniper First time I've seen ospreys in real life Ruth, it really was thrilling.
09:18 Paul & Ruth Boughton That was fabulous Juniper. Seren was my first Osprey in the feather, I cried
09:19 Paul & Ruth Boughton Have to go back later, grateful for any ts, thank you 👋👋
10:11 Paul & Ruth Boughton 09.49:14 Flora with lichen covered stick.
11:21 David Turnbull Morning everyone. 11.19.03 Flora flies off trailing bailer twine
11:28 ISquishWorms intruder?
11:29 Livia Armstrong Morning everyone
11:30 David Turnbull Looks like an intruder
11:32 Livia Armstrong 11:27 Yes she was mantling. The bailer twine is wrapped around Flora’s leg unfortunately
11:35 David Turnbull I could see Flora and another 2 ospreys at one point. Maybe Harry chasing the intruder.
11:44 Livia Armstrong Looks all settled now 👍 well spotted David
11:49 David Turnbull Yes - hope she can get rid of that twine now
11:50 Livia Armstrong 🤞 hope so David. Back in a bit 👋
12:08 Val Gall Looks like twine is off Flora but still in nest 🤞
12:09 Juniper Oh... 😞
12:12 Livia Armstrong I can see why they bring it back, it looks very similar to nesting material
12:14 Juniper Yes it does indeed.
12:20 Livia Armstrong There’s a hidden chick at the front of the nest in case anyone is wondering where the other is
12:36 Patrick Mc Phail needs to be gone. Ofc no ringing here. Otherwise could have been done then
12:37 David Turnbull Just been out to the shop - had a look at the 3 local stork nests on the way back - the chicks are nearly as big as the adults now
13:08 Juniper How lovely to have local stork nests - nothing that exciting round our way I'm afraid.
13:12 David Turnbull There's always something worth watching wherever you are Juniper - We just moved to Portugal in January so Ive lots to learn. Lots of Swifts and House Martin nests close to home too.
13:32 Juniper We do spot the odd raptor occasionally (usually a buzzard). The most unexpected was a sparrowhawk in our garden recently. I just about had time to ID it and it was away like a rocket!
13:34 Sula Good afternoon Alyth, everyone. And Happy Solstice. Couldn't chat but have been perching. I'm glad you pointed out where 3rd chick Is, Livia, as I had a😲 moment! Enjoy viewing. BBL👋
13:37 David Turnbull Sparrowhawks re stunning Juniper. Good reminder of the solstice Sula - tomorrow we can say "The nights are fair drawing in" 😀
13:50 Patrick Mc Phail missed that fish 🐟!
13:56 David Turnbull 13:39:01 - Harry delivers a whole Brown Trout - Well done Harry
13:57 Juniper Lovely fish from Harry.
14:01 Patrick Mc Phail thanks David Turnbull for TS
14:03 Patrick Mc Phail Happy Summer Solstice ☀ to one and all. Especially old hippies like me!! 👍 😆
14:20 Livia Armstrong Hi Patrick and all 👋 thanks for TS. Happy summer solstice ☀ 14:09 Flora brings a massive nesting clump! That was quite a feat
14:32 Patrick Mc Phail Livia 👋☀💖
14:40 Val Gall What a clump that was!! Hope it pins the twine 🤞
14:41 Livia Armstrong Agree Val
15:52 Zara Happy Summer Solstice everyone ☀ .... thank you for the timestamps
16:13 Zara 16:10:35 Flora leaves the nest
16:17 Zara 16:13:35 Flora returns to the nest
16:50 James Thompson What a good time to pop in!!
16:51 James Thompson 16:50 fish delivery (flounder)
17:06 Sonia Drummond 17:05 one of the chicks on its side and can't seem to get up 😩
17:07 Livia Armstrong What’s happened to the chick at the front
17:07 Val Gall Looks like it’s tangled in twine
17:07 Sonia Drummond It's tangled up that twine that was on the nest the other day! This doesn't look good! 😩
17:09 Livia Armstrong Come on little one 😫
17:11 Sonia Drummond I'm going back offline, can't bear to watch 😢
17:12 Livia Armstrong Understandable Sonia. I hope it’s a happier picture when you return. I think it’s chick #2
17:14 Patrick Mc Phail absolutely disgusting! Baling twine discarded by some careless fool.
17:15 Patrick Mc Phail Yesss! Come ON!
17:15 Livia Armstrong Come on little one
17:16 Livia Armstrong 17:15 fish from Harry. Whole, small to medium
17:16 Paul & Ruth Boughton Please Lord save this chick and keep this Osprey family safe 🙏
17:17 Livia Armstrong That bailier twine needs to go
17:18 Patrick Mc Phail Amen. 🙏🏻
17:18 Livia Armstrong The chick is up!
17:18 Paul & Ruth Boughton 💖
17:19 Patrick Mc Phail WOOOOHOOO
17:19 Livia Armstrong 17:17:58 chick recovers, hope he/she gets fish after all that energy used
17:20 James Thompson I’m not sure if that was bailer twine or the fact that Flora flattened it wish the flounder. It was basically like a cast sheep.
17:20 Paul & Ruth Boughton Yabadabadoooooo, now we need the twine to go 🙏
17:21 Livia Armstrong Whatever it is has been on the nest since yesterday. It was wrapped loosely around a chick yesterday and Flora’s leg this morning
17:21 James Thompson Yes, the twine is a major concern. I don’t believe it was the cause in this instance.
17:22 Livia Armstrong Ah yes sorry I mis understood. I realised after I posted 🙈
17:23 Paul & Ruth Boughton It was on the nest when the cam switched to daylight yesterday. I was trying to find out when it came in, but couldn’t. What is important is happens going forward. Hope they will all be safe 🙏
17:23 Patrick Mc Phail your prayers were answered Ruth 🙏🏻
17:24 Paul & Ruth Boughton ❤🙏
17:24 James Thompson 16:57:51 she flies over to other side of the nest and the chick does a backflip. It’s managed to right itself though so that’s the main thing.
17:24 Livia Armstrong Poor thing. Glad it got some fish after that
17:25 Paul & Ruth Boughton Thank goodness
17:30 Patrick Mc Phail Absolutely agree 👍 Livia. Does Val know anyone able to go up the nest and remove it?
17:36 Livia Armstrong I hope something can be done since it’s a human created issue 🤞
17:39 Paul & Ruth Boughton Absolutely Liv,
17:39 Livia Armstrong Chick #3 got a good feed with the last fish
17:39 Patrick Mc Phail my sentiments entirely Livia
17:47 Paul & Ruth Boughton Hoping things work out. We have to trust Harry and Flora. They are an amazing pair.
17:50 Patrick Mc Phail any younger and not sure the chick would have been able to free itself. So we now sit and pray 🙏🏻
17:52 James Thompson Yeah, nothing will be done about it. The best you can hope for is a strong wind that takes it away or it goes when Harry leaves with a fish.
17:57 Livia Armstrong The good news is, they are always growing and getting stronger
17:59 Juniper Just looked back on the earlier drama! I think you were right James - Flora knocked the chick over when she moved to that edge of the nest. Well done little ' un for getting upright again, phew!
18:00 Juniper That wretched twine does need to go though, or get buried.
18:01 Livia Armstrong Well done chick, was a heart in mouth moment, it doesn’t seem worse for wear now at least 🤞
18:01 Val Gall @UKOI the nest is climbed in early season for camera work. I’m in process of contacting climbers in case situation deteriorates
18:02 Livia Armstrong Thank you Val 🙏
18:03 UKOI Ok, My mistake, i will remove my comment
18:05 Paul & Ruth Boughton Many thanks Val 🥰
18:09 James Thompson Who makes the call on whether permission would be granted Val if something unforeseen was to happen??
18:09 Patrick Mc Phail all that matters is that we have a good outcome
18:10 James Thompson Would it be NatureScot?
18:13 Val Gall Climbers have Schedule 1 licences. I have also contacted landowners to inform them of situation should situation deteriorate
18:15 James Thompson Ahh, that’s perfect!! 👌
18:17 James Thompson Let’s hope it not required and it disappears by some other means without causing any issues. There’s no harm in being prepared though, well done!!
18:17 Livia Armstrong Second that James 🥰
18:21 Val Gall Just wanted to get people updated for potential issue. We could see more when next fish is delivered
18:24 Juniper Thank you Val. 👍
18:26 Livia Armstrong Brilliant stuff Val
18:30 Val Gall Incoming??
18:30 David Turnbull Looks like I missed the drama - I won't scroll back. Flora looks like she has spotted something
18:31 Val Gall Small fish 18:30
18:34 Val Gall Hopefully all will settle now
18:34 Paul & Ruth Boughton Val thank you so much. Sorry at birthday celebrations. Trying yo keep an eye. On things.
18:44 Livia Armstrong Hi David 👋 enjoy your birthday Ruth 🥰 hope you’re having a wonderful day
18:45 Val Gall Have a lovely evening Ruth.
