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?

Thank you
Good morning Scylla, Patily and Mary
Lovely start to the day SCYLLA, and thank you WENDY again for your on-the-spot reports. The nest looks very wet today after the rain yesterday evening. If, as reported by the VC (...frequent visits to the dried gulley NE of the nest and apparently roosting each night at 21.00 GMT at a point some 400m S of the nest.), Millie roosted away from the nest, she certainly knew when Odin was bringing in a fish! Will we see Druie today, or has she also headed south. Time will tell.

Morning SHEILA
Morning SHEILA.
As you may be able to see, I'm going bonkers with tiredness, so SYAL :-*
07.29 Osprey flew across the screen at the far back, above the nest.
Good morning all,
Druie is on the nest. Shouting I think.
Hope her breakfast comes soon. Terribly cold up here today. Feels like a chilly winter morning and calls for coffee and hugging the stove.
ENS @ 09.32 am (sigh!)!!!!!

We have life after all!
It looks like a Great Tit to me. Then movement caught my eye, and I think a large bird did a fly pass right to left behind the nest.
