Where did I miss a post about EJ dropping the fish!!!!!!!

It was a view expressed because she returned so quickly and without a fish.
Page 2. "
Oh dear, EJ back so soon and chirping, is she upset over egg disturbance? Was the fish that minuscule? Did she drop it? Oh dear."

[/quote]She returned without the fish after just ten minutes - someone wondered if the fish had been tiny or if EJ might have dropped it (Scylla, I think).
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Queried as a possible reason for EJ returning to the nest after such a short time, and not bringing the fish with her.

MIKE and CLARE - thank you for straightening me out :) SCYLLA , you're doing a great job on the 'snaps', thank you. It's just super to see 'our' boy back even if he doesn't realise his girl needs second helpings
oops sorry, Scylla - putting words in your mouth keyboard back there :blush:.
She seems to have settled down a little quieter now - for the time being, at least :-).

I was investigating a bunch of flies elsewhere, now have caught up again and must say Good Morning to unnamed posters whose arrival I'd missed :-)

A bunch of flies, Scylla? I'm not sure I want to know!
EJ checks egg and settles. Odin must have flown, she is silent.
