"Major events" from yesterday (which, you will quickly see, do not include a fish!).
Just after daycam GJ flew in, he stood looking around for a few moments and flew off. That was the last we saw of him, even when the intrusion occurred:

EJ got drenched:
EJ dried out and went for a dip (what makes you think we have 3 different dads here? - only joking):
EJ suffered intrusions but no touchdowns apart from on the campost:
Probably EJ's day could have been worse, but not much.

He's here but I'm not sure if it was in relation to a possible intrusion - he's gone already.
Cuckoo has got closer.

Off again in no time:
EJ is calling again now.
Quiet at the moment:
Good Morning SCYLLA
Thank you for starting the thread and for your summary of yet another fishless day yesterday.
EJ is calling, as well as the cuckoo.
I have to say at this stage I hope that G. does not bring a fish, as this will be the start of day 3 of his sporadic, fishless visits to the nest, I certainly do not want to see a repeat of last year, it was just too cruel to watch for both us and EJ. That may sound harsh, but I think we would like to see EJ look after herself, as once these chicks hatch I do not think G. would be able to feed them.
She has stopped calling now, and so has the cuckoo, but a chaffinch calls now and then.

Good morning, MARY :-*
A perfect example of EJ hunkering down to comfort herself:

God bless her Scylla she can hardly keep her eyes open.
All "collectables", Mary <3
I have to get some peace and cool off for a while, so this laptop needs to be set aside and the LG one needs to be muted, and I need to have a lie down. I do hate leaving. SYAL :(
I was thinking of how hot it was down your way, and knew you would be melting Scylla.
I hope you have a decent sleep, and you and MC cool down appropriately.
Sleep well MC. Good morning Mary.
Birdies LG DU update.
