Not just sleeping though, look like they're snoring! Again....bit like me.

Absolutely fascinating

Thanks for the link Arachnid, will definitely check out the nest daily

How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you are?

I had a wee look earlier on today and it was quite windy, could see the tree fairly blowing about!!
Another few weeks and there'll be nothing to watch on the webcam, will miss having a peek to see how they're getting on!!!

I keep having a wee look at them but our computer has a problem and I can only get a vague black and white picture, very disappointing
I'm really going to miss Springwatch, have followed it faithfully.

Some of the footage on last night's Springwatch was fantastic. I especially liked the kingfishers and the foxy family.

I hear the Loch Garten chick has died as its dad was trying to untangle himself from fishing line and stood on it.
I'll miss springwatch. Had a look a couple of times when they were showing footage during the night, much better than Big Brother

And I'll miss Springwatch too!! It was a great programme. The " foxy" family were one of my favourites!!!

It'll be back in the autumn though, as " Autumnwatch", so something to look forward to!!!

Mr Arachnid's been watching the one at Loch of the Lowes for the past couple of days. And neighbours who were at Pitlochry for the weekend came home via there and were saying that there's another pair flying around, so perhaps there will be two nests this year!
Will have to keep watching to see what happens!

Busy cleaning the nest as I looked. The youngster seemed to be quite vocal
