Welcome to EJ and Odin's first chick of the season, reports yesterday's Strathspey&Badenoch Herald! This was certainly the buzz of the day after our days and nights of anxious waiting. Unfortunately, the cam lost its focus last night, and is now completely down. No, I just checked it again and see a fuzzy EJ wobble as well as hear the tiny chucks of a little one!© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx WildYesterday's capture during a first feed, from BNN.

Sound asleep... Stuffed!
Mama woke them up:
IMAGICAT
EJ has just returned from a quick comfort break and is now back on her adorable twosome and the last egg.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Great news on the second chick hatching, it looks nice and sunny on the nest at the moment.
Great news to wake up to. A 2nd bobblehead and they have both fed too. Super video Scylla thank you.
Here is this morning's breakfast at last. In the end I didn't edit it down, so you can see who got what - and #2 didn't really get anything as it bobbled away from offered morsels.
It's very long because it includes preamble... which is not to be missed! I thought that EJ had lost her mind ;-D
10m48s
A picture of contentment:
She's up:
She's starting another feed. Little One is facing the wrong way:
She abruptly changes her mind:
Well, that was weird.

I do hope that EJ isn't getting the same mental dodderiness that I'm suffering from - especially given the performance with the sticks ;-D
MC. It's not dodderiness in your case it's more like exhaustion!!
Birdies LG DU update.
Another FISH !!!!!!!
