Good evening/morning, all. Annette is enjoying her anniversary celebration, I hope, so I thought I'd give her a break and start this thread for her.
Chaffinch back Lindybird :) and page took so long to load he went and new birdie is around - dunno what it is
True Alan and let's hope that is what happens. (wet cold weather out of the way for the chicks)
Brief visit from Odin . No fish. EJ calm. Gentle peep of greeting.
Then very brief excercise flight by EJ (10secondss) who returns making 'contact' calls to the chicks within the eggs.
I recorded that visit by Odin just to prove he is around today!!

Good on you, Alan. Off to view it.
EDIT nice one!!
Great stuff Alan - I was beginning to wonder if he had found a covered hidey-hole and was staying put!

I was hoping that when I came back on here, you would have news of a fish, but obviously the rain is too bad. Thanks Alan. Nice to see Odin.
I was interrupted by an unexpected visitor, who I entertained and has now left: I fully expected to find all sorts had happened in the meantime, but no, its just the rain still falling at LG and EJ on nest duty as usual.
The extent of the rain over Scotland:

Thanks Alan was getting a little concerned at not seeing him. In fact I logged out before lunch because I found it quite upsetting to see EJ sitting in all that rain. Logged in now and she is still sitting in the rain, what a dire day for her and Odin. Just hope he manages to catch a fish soon.

Just seen the forecast Alan and it looks as though it will last until about 7.00 tonight. Can hear EJ calling and I am sure I can here Odin responding.
