LOCH ARKAIG (c)The Woodland Trust - MAY 2019

CATCHUP - from where MARY left off.

A look, and Louis flies:

A gust of wind blew the green furry stick over to Aila's side:

Eventually she put it back where (she thought, but we might not) it belonged:

FISH !!!

Aila's getting good now :)

The weather had closed in by the time Aila returned with an indistinct footful:

Thanks, Aila, this turned out much better for us :)

In motion, the trail from Louis's feet looked more like water than nest debris:

Aila got some tiny dozes thru her shift:

Louis flies in to relieve with a small something:

Aila was gratefully away:

Aila seemed to land on Louis's head (but I don't think she did, I think he just ducked) when she returned with a piece of bark:

She put the piece of bark right next to her eggs:

And enjoyed the company of the fuzzy stick:

FISH !!!

Aila came back with a very large piece of bark:

She put it on Louis's back, and he soon took the hint:

Then the fly-by and landing of Louis with the bit leafy twiggy stick which he dumped beside Aila:

There was a big buffer so a changeover was lost.

 Louis moved the twiggy leafy stick with his tail when he turned the eggs:

it stayed upright, forming a bit of a cot-rail, CIRRUS ;)

Aila "beat" Louis with a tiny stick:

And shifted the green leafy stick:

It took a while before Louis upped and flew:

No supper for Aila ;'(  but she does seem to be having a peaceful evening so far :-*
