High time I started a DU thread! It's the first day of May and EJ the Beautiful is fast asleep:
If all goes to plan we should have chicks this month! Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic after last year but I'm feeling positive for this pair.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good morning everyone. I was here before but no box appeared in which I could post a comment! I have one now so thanks for all the photos and comments. I agree with Clare how nice it is to see a frost free morning and a well fed EJ.
Morning ALL. Thank you for starting us off, Clare, and thank you, Moffer, for contacting the VC re the sound.
Good to know that Odin has brought in an early breakfast - well done that man!
He has just checked the eggs, in a buffer, and morphed back to incubating. Hmmm buffer has turned into a "we are unable to connect".... Probably my end.

It is interesting that the cam is well behind our regular time - re day cam. I am aware that often incidents are reported by posters that I have barely seen, let alone had time to report. I wonder whether Limpy and Clare were able to spot this when Limpy was in the FH?
Morning Sheila. VC will sort the sound out ASAP and they will confirm time that night cam went on, for Birdies records.
Odin nods, aww
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
EJ's back with a stick that she drops on Odin.
He's up
and off
She is learning from Odin! Pay-back time.

Many thanks Moffer, and thank you Jess/VC too.

EJ sits within the inner circle, looking up.
I'll be in and out now, but I'm recording and watching.
