Happy Easter all!
OK. So EJ and Odin safely at LG, but what has happened to the LOTL cam. Haven't been able to get anything. It looks like it's going to load okay, then you get just a black screen. Let's hope they get it sorted soon. Margobird said they'd had horrible weather there yesterday, so maybe that knocked out something.
Well, I missed Odin's arrival but thanks to BigRab, there's a video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4EoYaRO6js which I plan to watch myself in a minute.
Busy day here, also amazed to see Trucker cam is now in Albuquerque - boy! does that guy ever cover ground. So I really have to follow him tomorrow (along with you-know-who) because I've driven that road and just love the huge wide horizons. But it's also Easter, so a bit of family stuff going on. Bought some lovely strawberries from the farm down the road and then went to supermarket and bought some naughty cheese (fattening double cream French Brie), mushrooms stuffed with all kinds of yummy stuff and simply couldn't turn down Haagen Dazs's invite to try - "at special introduction price" - new Java Chip flavor with coffee and chocolate chips. Was at Costco earlier and got some great asparagus and Wild Alaska Halibut. So we had a nice dinner, but ice cream still unopened - for now.
Alan There has been a sort of wife swap within the family (at Rutland) then?
Annette I do hope you are awake as the ISS sweeps toward you. It seems very clear in Southern California. Sadly the shuttle docked with the ISS about two hours ago. It is going arrive very son. See http://winearth.terc.edu/appISSFlight/index.html

Chloe. There is indeed an osprey there. I did not notice.
Afternoon Alan what a wonderful morning you have had and now wonder you were elated. I agree about the weather not bieng to warm we still have a pretty cool wind here in Poole. Hope Hamish enjoys his walk.

Thanks for the alert to a new blog DjoanS we are really getting spoilt with the updates at the moment.
Tiger just had a look at Lola Pale Male pics and as usually such a high standard. Nice if they could hatch chicks this year but as yoy say history not good. I wonder how many people will have noticed the osprey flyig overhead.
Kestrels at Aston university, Birmingham have 1 egg:

Thanks Alan how do you find all these cams. Wonderful colouring on her.
Thanks, Alan, for the kestrel link - beautiful birds!
I have just been on a short shopping mission to pick up some flowers for my friend's birthday tomorrow. I came back by the beach road and was surprised to see the car parks full ... it is cloudy and cool ... but that obviously doesn't matter!

DjoanS we are of strong stuff in this country. We see people having a picnic on the beach in all sorts of weather. That is what they have come out to do and they do it.
On another note have just been looking at an eagle cam in Fort St. Vrain and there is snow on the nest again. The eaglet was being fed but once she had finished she quickly covered eit to stop it getting cold.
