DAILY UPDATE ~ Loch Garten nest ~ Wednesday, 22 June 2016

The first day of summer was glorious for EJ's nest. Odin delivered not ONE, but TWO fish by a little after 5 am. Good start to a beautiful day - sunny and breezy. Followed up by a good sized dinner fish. No one is going hungry here, though all have good appetites. :D And Golly has turned into a debutante. Maybe that is being hyperbolic, but let's just say if she was human, she'd be talking on the phone all the time.

It had been drip dropping for a moment, but now is just breezy on the silent nest.

  • Good morning and thank you again, CC.  I'll try to do a catchup.

  • Hi scylla! Which editor did you prefer? I liked the first one - Bandsnatch? - best. And what type of laptop are you thinking about? Top o' the line processor? :)
    Must go soon - up for an early meeting tmw morning. xx

  • It's been a fairly uneventful night so far, apart from Dave doing a lot of beak-stretching and standing up more than usual.

    This was a poop taken quickly by the wind, rather faint:

    Then a flex:

    Couldn't hear what he was saying:

    EJ alert, looking pretty:

    Golly probably had a poop but the cam has been absolutely dreadful, only part of her movements seen:

    Now:

    Bandicam recording software - screenshot.  Then a snap taken from a recording in Freemake editor.  Then a direct screenshot with Greenshot.  All JPEGs - I know that VLC's default is PNG.

    For recording I usually buy elderly Dell Precisions (business laptops) with Quadro graphics aimed at CAD work.  My "working" laptop has high-endish graphics and CPU, by laptop standards.

    I just heard Golly get up but she was still lying down according to the cam ;-D

  • I'm sure there was a big stretch here but this is all we saw:

    Then this:

    Heehee, EJ popped up:

    IR went off:

    At last a full flap captured:

    I thought that EJ had flown but she was just camouflaged when they all lay down in a heap, she's up again now:

  • Two chirps from EJ.

    Surely it's safe to get a coffee.

  • DAYCAM 0355hr

    Dave up:

    Beak-to-beak, but don't think it was aggressive:

    Who flew past?

    Big stretch:

    EJ has been chirping on 'n off, not now tho.

    EJ just flew

    EJ landed, chirping, expecting fish?  Sporadic chirps... Odin must be on his teasing way.

    Golly has withdrawn already, had a poop (I heard it) and stretch.

    0501hr

    She's gone back for more now.

    Dave has been whimpering while EJ gives her sweet feeding tweets.

    After a short 2nd feed Golly flapped:

    She nestorised impressively :o

    Then went back for more to eat!

    I have to go now.  Will there be another fish before 6? :-)

    See you later :-)

  • Hi MC. Your last posts are elsewhere!!

  • Odin has a fish under his foot. I didn't see him arrive so not sure if it is new or the one EJ was feeding earlier.

  • Which ever it was he's gone with it!
