  • "EJ returns with fish leftover, like an old lady" :(

  • Delighted to see that George brought EJ the remains of a small whale. But I see from scylla's video, when EJ returns, he's not on the eggs. I'd like to think he'd just left, checking carefully there were no crows or other egg thieves. Everything still very firmly crossed. And thanks to all for posts and some great photos.

  • I do love those contact calls! She really couldn't decide...do I let go of the fish, or incubate? That is a lovely vid for the end of the day. X

    How do old ladies deal with fish leftovers?

    EJ is young like me.

    Yes, LIMPY, I wasn't sure how to punctuate that, or whether to rephrase it.  Probably should take the comma out.  No, rephrased it slightly :)

    She's got me worried again, not looking herself at all, her wings look artificial when she flaps:






    I hope she's not feeling eggy :o

    If you are too young to know Limpy.... go seek out Captain Birdseye, and ask him :-D

  • I think we're getting Arkaig's rain, hope it doesn't come to anything.

  • Not looking good weatherwise until lunchtime tomorrow scylla 

    Although it does look like Loch Garten may be on the fringe of the main area of bleak and wet weather

  • Thanks for the welcome Sheila and Scylla .

    I have been watching the developments this year as I have the last 15 years at LG  and have been to the hide many times. Was up early at home with my Golden Retriever and happened to catch the Dawn Chorus on the live LG web cam. So great to witness the trials and tribulations  of EJ and new mate GJ  this year LIVE in Paisley in my living room.

    You can teach me a thing or ten, Declan - I just do videos, when possible ;)
