Here's to the new osplet's first full day. All looks peaceful on the nest just now :)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.

Two thoughts
1. Why have they not updated the picture to show either Odin or EJ?
2. That seems to be a completely different bird Orange SV
Tiger Signature
Odin back again. This time EJ wastes no time and leaps up and onto it before it disappears a second time.
Junior lunges across the nest cup - wants his/her share and quickly!

1. Couldn't agree more Tiger. That was exactly my point earlier - as a person who works with press, I know BBC reporters these days have v little time to bash out each story. Web editor will just haul something out of the archive unless they've been sent an up to date shot with the news. Would be a quick thing for LG staff to do, to get a decent picture of EJ or Odin into BBC Scotland archive.
2. Keith seemed sure it was a pic of OVS... is there any record of an Orange SV?
Chick gets a few juicy morsels
It's shouting for more, but EJ seems to think its had enough. It might be getting chilly and maybe she doesn't want to expose it for too long
Back in the warmth again. And plenty of trout left for later (unless Odin nicks it back again)
Or maybe EJ was just too tired to continue feeding. She's flat out now!
Sorry Tiger/ Chocoholics, I needed to have some dinner ! I still can't find the original discussion. The answer was something like a negative being copied the wrong way around. I am really trying to remember but I obviously didn't absorb it
Tiger, I don't understand why LG have not asked for the present birds to be shown by the media.
Thanks Chocoholix for the fish pictures. I missed it all.
Congrats to EJ, Odin, LG and all the followers on the first hatch. Wotadin looks to be a handful already!! Hope #2 hatches fast :-)
Respect yourself, respect the world :-D
