Yesterday brought 4 large fish, 2 from each parent, so lots of nest activity. Both EJ and Odin are seen tidying up the nest now, rather like starting to close up the summer cottage for the season (or should I say Love Shack hehe). All of us are especially enjoying this perfect Loch Garten nest this year, as we well know how things can and have gone sour so easily. Here is the obligatory nest shot for this morning for later comparisons.
Forgot to add that after returning from days away, it is harder for me to tell the difference between R & W now.

You can see them in your mind's eye, flying around, beaks open, noises emitting ;-)
IMAGICAT
Flying around, perching next to their parents, alternately having tantrums and beseeching forlornly.
All gone very, very quiet :-/
I had to look it up in Merriam Webster: solecisms.• a mistake in speech or writing.• an impolite or improper way of behaving.
I would not say you are mistaken or improper, but that you exercise a creative evolution in extending the English language.

Okay, my eyes are getting sore now, and hear nuttin' not even wind. So I bid thee adieu so I can hit the sack. And now Carnyx has given up the ghost and has hit a buffer as well. Good night! xx
Distant juvie and I thought I heard a single close pipe then.
No, I didn't hear a pipe (replayed). I've tested VLC and don't seem to have any sound on that.
What a strange morning :-/ I've not seen anyone yet. The juvies are heard now and then, not so much lately, tho I did just hear a short, distant burst.
ODIN on the nest !!! I didn't hear him.
He's nestorising after bringing a small stick:
Video from VLC, I did hear a small chirp at the beginning:
Odin returned with another small stick and Willow(?) thought he must have a fish - he came in shouting and Odin quickly left (that's "scarpered" again, NOC!).
