Lots of interesting posts on the previous threads. Thanks folks. EJ on nest/eggs right now. Doesn't look too windy. Marge on her eggs too.
The pitter-patter of the rain has now turned into a deluge. Love the way EJ just nonchalantly shakes her head to rid herself of the excess raindrops. She's sitting tight.
Just had a look at the actual map and it should have passed by about 1.00. tt does seem to have eased just a bit at the moment.

Yes original goldfinch it is rain, poor EJ but as you say she seems OK about it. Suppose nothing could be as bad as all that snow. Should stop about 1.00 according to the weather map I have just looked at.
Thanks Sandy, I've bee sitting for a couple of minutes trying to determine what the noise was, didn't even realise it was raining. Quite clearly raining when I switch to full screen. Lets hope its short lived. Think we're due it first thing and clearing by mid morning. Here's hoping.

Let's hope so margobird - she might just be ready to lay the second egg by the early hours - much more comfortable in the dry, I guess!
Anyone else watching LOTL just now. Madge sitting with wings slightly out and tail up and twitching again. This is how she looked the other night before she laid her second egg. She really isn't looking very comfortable.
Thanks Margo. It must be moments like this, that she thinks, 'What am I doing HERE ?'
Sandy I had forgotten that she might lay a second egg soon, so please let is stop raining, as you say much more comfortable in the dry.
Sandy - appreciate the picture of EJ in the rain. Thank you.
Alan - i hope you read this - I am SO appreciative of such a gorgeous photo of EJ. Thank you
Hi Soosin, I think I would be happy if Marge didn't lay another egg. She has had enough problems with her partner.
