Good Afternoon,
Some late breaking news in Bird World as our hearts continue breaking for Jack and Jill at Achieva and our anger grows that no one, no one has done enough for Jack and his families at that platform in recent years. Forgotten. Apathy. Horrible.
Bodie has fledged! Isn’t this grand. Juvie was there to cheer his sister on! (I mean they are siblings, aren’t they?)
‘J’ sends news from Hancock about Bodie fledge: https://forum.hancockwildlife.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=759&sid=13bc462688fb543f10d55f40570b114f&start=1470
Another male has landed on Iris’s nest at Hellgate Canyon. Is it Finnegan? I am waiting for confirmation. The cam was focused on Iris on the pole. You can hear her soft cheeps and she flew to the nest. We did not see the male arrive. There is a red blood dot that I assume is from a fish on that chest this morning.
It doesn’t feel right if it is Finnegan. The white looks like him, but is this yet another male. Not Finnegan. Not Louis. We wait.
Foulshaw Moss: At Foulshaw Moss, we have the first egg for White YW and Blue 35 on Friday.
Rutland Manton Bay: Blue 33 and Maya have their fourth egg on Thursday.
Roli KA5 has been flying around the Glaslyn nest. Come on Aran!!!!!!!
Thank you for being with me for these latest news items. We continue to wait to see what is happening at the HellGate Canyon nest of Iris. I will be outside – it is gorgeous today – but will check often. Keep your eyes on that nest, too! Have a glorious afternoon everyone.
Thank you to ‘J’, to the Montana Osprey project for their streaming cam, to Cumbria Wildlife Trust, LRWT, and UK Osprey Info for the other information in this posting.
