MORNING ALL
This must be the latest that a Daily Update has been started!
All looks quiet on the LG Nest, GEM's are preening and lounging, EJ is looking wistfully out into the landscape, maybe she is thinking Odin is late this morning with his breakfast fish, or then maybe she is thinking, isn't this about the time that that funny man comes with those long ladders, and takes my two chicks away, when they come back they have a bendy wire on their backs, wonder what they are for.

I wonder if there has been an early morning Fish delivery and we have missed it. The two GEM's seem quite lethargic as though they are stuffed. EJ is very quite and not calling at all.
Some impressive flapping this morning. The sooner these 2 can be ringed the better, by the looks of things!
Have just been watching some vigorous wing flapping!
Chick on the right has a go at mum every time she lands - EJ is remarkably tolerant.
As far as I know EJ hasn't been fishing yet - surely unusually late for her?
If they don't hurry up ringing and tagging this chick, it could be OFF.... thought it was going to go at one point there.
It's another windy day on the nest - not good ringing/tagging weather.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
EJ is alarm calling & chicks lying flat: this could be it. Yes - I can hear a ladder.
LADDER!!! Chicks flat

Yes here we go, ladders, voices - and just in time I think, with this bit of wind they could have fledged.
I feel sorry for them as they looks so petrified.
I thought I could hear voices!
