I had hoped it may be Druie AN8 misread!

Me too, WILLOW !

Thank you, LIMPY, for starting the new DU and to CC for her usual great contributions and to everyone else whom I won't name - as you can imagine my mega sleep has led to another panicked morning.

EJ is currently off the nest.  Just going to do catchup.

Thanks for doing the post-delivery, LIMPY, I'll do catch-up now :-)

Good morning MC and Limpy.

CATCHUP

I'm having Sunday Morning Syndrome on my network as well as slow uploads and postings here :'(

"That squit" was almost invisible, CC, but accompanied by a squawk.

OMG EJ just went screaming off the nest! GEMs flat and motionless. :(
I did not see it directly but I heard a loud chirp, wings, and she was gone.

Nothing to be seen or heard, just 6 loud pipes after EJ shot off - not even a take-off shot:

EJ gone 12 minutes:

She stayed up:

Golly got up:

EJ tried to stay watchful but was sleepy:

Got her head down but didn't look relaxed:

Golly was restless:

This is one of her stretches, if you can discern it:

Then Dave:

Then Golly had another invisible squit:

They were all down at DAYCAM time 0349hr:

Golly up for a preen:

Dave up:

Gems back to sleep:

EJ flew @ 0436hr - did I do that already?

Then it was fish time, Odin looked beautiful (see previous post/s) and left, no flyaway:

Golly withdrew from feeding first, as often:

I think LIMPY already covered this one, with a variation:

Seconds, but not for long:

After the gems withdrew finally, EJ ate and ate, chirping to herself.

Now, pensive:

EJ still looking pensive and piping very softly to herself... having another nibble on fish.

COFFEE TIME.
