Daily Update (LG Diary) Tuesday 15th June

  • the chicks all woke up, and EJ returned; she must have been nearby

     

    still no breakast though

  • The chicks started  getting restless and EJ must have been watching them from close by. She  just flew back to the nest with a clump of moss

    She is probably easing them into the idea that eventually she will roost in the tree near the nest or go fishing and they will be fine on the nest without her.  If there is a problem she can come to them quickly 

    It won't be long before they are too big for her to sleep on the nest with them .

  • EJ flown off again

  • EJ returns. Chicks in a snoozing huddle. Keeping warm & conserving energy perhaps?

  • EJ calling & flapping wings. Must be intruder.

  • EJ came back to the nest and was intently scanning the  area in the distance. Then suddenly she started alarm calling and mantling. She must have seen an intruder from her tree that was  far in the distance and rushed back to the  nest. . Now she is on the nest  standing guard , preening and waiting for  Odin

  • I hope a fish arrives soon. Those chicks must be ravenous. I must go to prepare evening meal. Bye, Barbara Jean.

  • Still here - just. Is that a plane I hear? Is it a bird, is it a plane, I hope it's SuperOdin. Bye.

  • Morning all  :)

    Someone should explain to Annette about the verse that tells us about Cuckoos: here it is

    Normal 0 false false false

    In April come he will

    In May sing all day

    In June CHANGE HIS TUNE

    In July prepares to fly

    In August go he must

     

    Breakfast is late then?

     

  • EJ calling loudly and mantling - frustration at Odin's non-arrival or intruder alert?  It's worrying that Odin hasn't yet appeared with breakfast.  He's been so early with fish the last few days.
