A quick catchup from early morning.
A frosty-bottied MrsG flew and Aran flew in to incubate:
No breakfish at this stage, PATILY - Aran is still incubating while MrsG enjoys a long preen:
What a long preen!
At last!
Aran stood by for a short while:
Then it was his turn on the perch:
He flew:
And sailed very slowly out thataway:
And MrsG soon appeared on the perch again!
Happily continuing her preen:
When she flew she went in the same direction as Aran had, only with a bit more curve to it ;) (Saves doing another snap.)
Then back to the perch !!!
Presumably she's looking at Aran on the nest but we've had no view of the nest for ages:
Crop drop - but Aran can't be fishing so she doesn't need to worry about making space for breakfish yet:
Off and back and more preening!
I was going to say that she's still there but she flew to the nest and her place has been taken by Aran!
Well chaps, Sorry about all the snaps but one thing led to another and got us precisely nowhere, fish-wise.
When Aran flew he exited bottom left as indicated:
At last the cam returned to the nest - and MrsG noticed :)
FISH !!! But not a lot:
She brought back a small clump and Aran left:
Birdies LG DU update.
The aforementioned takeover by Aran:
When she came back on-cam MrsG spent some time preening on the right fence before relieving Aran:
When the camperson came on the perch was vacant but then Aran turned up:
This is still the view as I type:
