DAILY UPDATE (Loch Garten nest) Saturday, 23 August 2014

EJ and Seasca are confirmed as gone and we await the updating of Google Earth to show us the route that Seasca took to the point of embarking on a perilous journey across the Bay of Biscay.

Our last sightings of the remaining 2014 cast of LG characters:


Millicent - the eldest of this season's brood and the 100th chick to fledge from LG, but a tardy traveller compared to her second-hatched sibling - about to receive her breakfast yesterday morning:

Druie - The youngest, the smallest, the least well-fed in her infancy, but what a strong and feisty juvenile she has become - I think that doubts about her gender have been laid to rest by her generous breast pattern.  Here she was having a potter and mild shout mid-afternoon:

Odin (add your own superlatives) - Will he stay until both his daughters have departed, or will he, like last season, leave ahead of one or more of them?  Early afternoon he had brought a piece of fish and waited failthfully for 10 minutes - but, to quote LIMPY, "no takers":

What will today bring?
