This photo of EJ by Charlie Davidson after fishing unsuccessfully at Aviemore is beautifully backlit. However, for most of the rest of the day she was seen on the PTZ munching on her sizeable fish, perhaps from Rothiemurchus. (framing by scylla)
At the moment, the nest is b+w and empty, no surprise. No moon and no moths. :-D

Which, by the way, I have completed a draft of the book cover for Trying's developing story featuring the Loch Garten nest, featuring original captures from Trying and Scylla.
Brilliant @ CC
Last transmission received, I believe, was 'Are we nearly there yet?', and soon after, sight of the moon was lost. :(
Current state and success of the mission is unknown!!
Wow, that is a wonderfully intriguing ending! I see I need to return to the drawing board in order to devise the inside story of this little tale.
I have only been up long enough to cook and over-eat a meal, and work unsuccessfully on EJ's unsuccessful fishing trip snap, and now have to sleep it all off !!!
Lovely book in the making, CC :o
Cheerio, I'll be back asap. It's already gettig a bit light:

Good morning all. Scene as above. Just a little brighter.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good Morning Mike (as I guess you are the only one still around)
Thanks to CC for starting us off with yet another fabby frame!
Good Morning to Scylla when she re-surfaces :-) and to everyone who makes it to the DU today
There is not much to report apart from it looks like the camera lens is showing these water mark thingy's.
Has EJ left for Aviemore already, we will just have to wait and see :-)
No update from AO this morning, but they have changed their cover photo to Charlie Davidson's photo of our "Pin Up Girl" lol.... quite rightly so too.

CATCHUP
DAYCAM 03:34hr:
GJ flew in - to defend?
Short break, EJ lands on campost 04:22, down to nest:
Moves a stick:
More blurry flapping:
GJ touches down on EJ's back and hops off:
Off she flew:
Off he flew:
I'm not confident re this vid because the editor crashed with 8 clips in it and when eventually it restored them the total length was shorter :'(
I've noted the exclamation marks MC!! LOL
Good Morning MARY MIKE and SCYLLA, if are still here, and to Everybody else
