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
Very odd behaviour. Odin has flown

EJ is calling for fish
Loud chirps from Goliath
Sleeping again now
Both male and female Cuckoos calling. EJ stretches
EJ took a short break
and returned with a long stick
My stream dropped out and I didn't realise. EJ is still on the back of the nest. No sign of any fish.
Goliath was just chirping again.
EJ has flown
Still home alone
