We follow a good day in every way except weather - the rain made dear Willow too heavy to fledge :-(
A doodle I did yesterday - it supports the opening statement:
Willow is having a peaceful night so far. (I'm sticking with the official line that Willow is male, even tho some of us think he's a she.)
Up for a brief preen, stretch, scratch that itch:
A post-poop (not photogenic) stretch and flap, back down to sleep straight away:

Good afternoon, all. He's looking good!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Must be some of the highest helicopter jumps ever recorded!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Afternoon Clare and OG.
Dear boy can't take the leap, but I think he's ready. In his own time :)

I thought Willow was looking at his feet, but he maybe sleeping. It's very damp again :(
The Vulture look. I can hear calling in the distance.
Sounds like an intruder is around. I can hear both EJ and Odin alarm calling.
Willow looks up, but doesn't lay down.
Every so often Willow spreads his wings and gets me going - then he settles again and fluffs himself up!
Just got a brief glimpse of someone flying about in the top right-hand corner. Willow is peering in that direction.
The only action since my last post was a look around and shaking the rain off :(
