At this rate we're in for half a dozen eggs :o

I was posting elsewhere and heard the mating, and just thought that will be that randy Odin again.   LOL

Good Morning MIKE< SCYLLA,MOFFER & MARY I was hoping the snow would pass them by but it doesn't seem to be detering them

Morning Patily!   

Edit: and Olliebeak too :-) 

Morning all( busiest thread this morning) CHOL:):

what a difference in parts of this little island of ours, snow, wind rain, calm sunshine, depending where you are.

Good morning all - thank you so much for the overnight pics and info, Scylla.  I've had to 'sneak quietly onto the PC' this morning as I've got two sleeping grandkids, so this is my first chance to 'get MY turn' at the PC.

I'm sure the snow will probably melt away; Abernethy is due for quite a bit of rain this morning and then a few hours of sunshine later in the day - www.bbc.co.uk/.../2657792.  I remember one time last year, seeing poor EJ sitting on her 'newly-laid eggs' all night through the snow ............ what a lovely protective mum!

We're organising our holiday for mid/late June and hopefully will manage a day trip to Loch Garten again.  We visited two years ago - I think it was Jen's first year, as we met her and had a lovely chat.  Had to cut the visit short to get our return buses back to Inverness, then Fort William :(.

I'll pop back in again later, once I've unloaded these two back to their respective parents ;-).

Odin popped in for a quite mating session and off he went again.  

Odin doing a little housework in the snow.

And after a potter he's flown.

Again.
