Yesterday was a thundery day of plenty, after a slow start (leftover whale on nest) and some horrible aggression, Goliath on David. I think Fergus's suggestion is perfect (notwithstanding the pronounced genders) until the official names are decided on.
Having slept thru a lot of it, please see CC's summary (link to follow).
However, I thought that the "mystery bird" could do with demonstrating prominently, as a number of us have missed previous IDs.
Male and female cuckoo - he seems to be modifying his call with "pop-ups", and she is the "bubbler":
Here is the thunder that didn't bring on a storm, thank goodness; then Goliath exercising her maturing voice and then enjoying a couple of poops:
EDIT - And this is the male cuckoo with echo-cackle - is that him or another bird?
IMAGICAT
It is getting lighter, and I must be off to bed already. I had a couple of phone calls one right after the other so I left you alone all this time dear scylla.

Have you been able to revive your two laptops? Or are they well and truly dead? :(
Much lighter now. Kinda imagine I hear the popup call.
EJ gave a chirp and flew.
Good night, scylla - see you on the morrow!
EJ is still absent, I haven't heard her or Odin.
Was this an osplet dreaming? If so, which?
Goodnight and thank you for everything, CC :-*
