What more could we have asked of yesterday? The weather was almost perfect, for LG. No intruders. A second fish, after the generosity and earliness of the first, would be very ungrateful of us.
And tonight we are blessed with a lovely nightcam, we may see their flying shadows on the trees if we're lucky.
A moment of alertness:
IMAGICAT
How lovely to look in and find peace and quiet on a nest. Here LotL and Manton are thus far joyful watching. I'm going visiting LG on Saturday so it will be lovely if it has remained in such a pattern of contentment :)
Afternoon all, good to catch up in the afternoon. Looks like it is still windy at the top of that tree in LG, poor EJ and Odin. It is the same here up in Caithness, can't keep the washing on the line. When will we get another fish delivery and another egg?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hello Catlady it will be exceptional to get another egg, the norm is 3 but indeed EJ has been known to lay more than that normally when some form of crisis has arisen but I am not sure without checking imagicat whether 4 have ever hatched and fledged - I would put my money on not.
Sorry MOFFER - I'm past my limit and need to collapse. I'm recording, of course.
EJ is still tweeting away but not forcefully

Sleep well, Scylla, and thank you, as usual.
I'm am back from a futile walk to the village to post a birthday card. Two boxes had 9.00am collections and the late pm one I usually use has been taken away. So birthday girl won't get a card on her birthday, and I've walked over three miles in the process.
EJ is quietly incubating, the sun has gone in.
and as I am about to post the sun comes out!

A quick pop in. Thanks for all the posts and pics and for everyone holding the fort. So glad to see EJ has had a fish today :-)

15.07 I think I can hear rain. EJ gives some gentle tweets.
Wind and rain! Probably a passing shower.
It was a passing shower, the sun is out now. EJ has given a few sharp calls, there has been no response from Odin, off camera.
A few more gentle calls now, and rising! Is Odin around with a fish? Or does she want a break?
