Hi everybody, Its been a great day at LG, weather has been kind, particularly after the wind dropped. Not sure how many fish were delivered.
News from LOTL is that Lady is making steady progress so one hopes she will see out the season.
At present the youngsters are home alone, EJ is probably on a perch keeping an eye on the nest from that or she has gone for a flyaround.
Off to bed, see you in the morning.

I just checked the nest . EJ is not there . She must be sleeping in the tree near the nest.
The chicks are all awake. They realize they are home alone
Another right of passage.
Now the chick sleep alone on the nest. They are growing up too fast for me.

Evening all: A "headless" EJ is perched on the left side of the nest, snoozing methinks.
Yes, EJ came back to the nest to stand there and sleep . Maybe the 3 rascals were too active alone on the nest so she had to come back and settle them down. They are still fidgeting , At least she is getting some sleep with her beak on her back
EJ taking the opportunity for a bit of exercise during the quiet hours. Chicks fidgety - but hey all kids are, especially when they're 3 to a bed. All seems well in the LG nest.

I hear EJ calling Odin from her perch in the tree next to the nest . Either he has a fish or she wants him to go fishing
Hi Barbara Jean and welcome Grumbleweed! Sounds like a character from Harry Potter! :-)
Great speckled mass in the nest!
4.30am and 2 of the chicks were up and about and the 3rd fast asleep still.
Haven't seen or heard from EJ or Odin since I've been looking.
Geez. Another beautiful sunrise at LG - all those white speckles on our chicks have turned goldy-pink.
Hi Gary! (Did the horse arrive yet?)
FYI folks, Grumbleweed has shown up on the Weekly Chat page - but we know him as Balderdash.. Grumbleweed - hope you didn't mind my "outing" you on this page. :-)) You're welcome, whichever alter ego you choose to use.
