I understand that it was a quiet day on the nest on Sunday. Odin continued to pester EJ for sex while she continued to sit on the single egg which almost certainly will not hatch.
There only five more egg laying days in the 2015 season. It looks as if there are not going to be any chicks at Loch Garten in 2015.

Am I hearing things, or are there 2 birds calling now?
I can hear two lots of shouting now.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

I wonder why EJ tried to eject it then, albeit half heartedly
Me too Lmac, and Odin having a go too, and he is not interested in incubating at all.
I really don't think it will hatch, it was more a reflection on my own personal feelings starting to become conflicted about EJ continuing to incubate it now until the due hatching dates...

My video didn't really pick that up, LMAC, but I know that outages vary between us :-/
I think EJ is vocally multi-tasking rather than there being two birds (that's another thing we'll have to wait for the Centre to unravel, besides yesterday evening's faux/real mating).

Did anyone else just see lightning?

Got to work now - have a good day everyone, hope Odin brings the goods soon!
