Here we are then - the first day of the month during which we should say goodbye to every one of our osprey family - maybe never to see some of them again.

SCYLLA I HAVE ALREADY STARTED A NEW THREAD
There was no link on the end of yesterday's so I presumed a new thread was needed.
I'm doing this in my sleep, I hope MrsT will transfer later.
Hi Folks, As there is a link on the other page, we'll leave this as is, saves it getting all complicated!
Ok Mrs T.
Birdies LG DU update.
A sodden Millie and Seasca on the nest now
09.19 A wet start to the day at LG. There has been a fish delivery, and a very sodden looking EJ is feeding possibly Millie, with dear Druie looking on, watching intently waiting patiently for her turn.
Well I say 'patiently', but she is calling and is trying to get the fish from EJ. Then ?Millie has a go at taking the fish, more flaps. Perhaps they have all had their fill and EJ is waiting for Seasca?
09.27 Druie has given up, and flown off. There seems to be a stand-off now. EJ holding on to the fish, and ?Millie calling, waiting either to be fed or her chance to pinch the fish.
09.32 Millie? is prowling the nest!
09.32 Millie tries to take the fish from EJ
EJ says no - After a flap to repel the juvie, EJ is now on the right hand side
EDIT: in snipping this, I think Millie? must have claimed the fish and is mantling over the fish on the right hand side
09.33 Millie? leaves and EJ appears to be eating the fish herself! Canny lady!
EDIT On reflection.... I think that EJ leaves, and that Millie, on the right hand side, now has the fish.
09.38 Millie? now with the fish
LARGE EDIT. I think I have the sequence wrong, and in the end I am not sure who claimed and ate the the fish. I lost the plot while snipping.
09. 47 Whoever was there has now left, ENS!! Sodden feathers, snipping and my general ineptitude has really b*******d up this report!
Birdie's DU Summaries 2018 https://www.imagicat.com/
Morning Patily, it certainly does look as though there has been plenty of rain at LG! EJ flapped her wings a few times during the above events, presumably to remove the rain drops on her feathers.
EJ is enjoying her fish in peace.
CONFUSION TWO THREADS BEING UPDATED TODAY FOR DU NEED TO CSNCEL ONE
That's what I was coming to say
I started the thread and something happened here beforeI could do a link and SCYLLA started another later as I hadn't done the link We had hoped Mrs T could have transferred Scylla's to here but she has said to leave it
Hi patily, I wonder if Scylla can rename hers with do not update in the title, or maybe Tiger has poeer to do this.
