Well done Jane - glad you got the capture! And yes Scylla, after all these weeks we now have an empty nest.
This is going to take some getting used to!

33 is standing on the nest just now with a fish in talon.
Hopefully we soon see 057 return safely back to the nest.
I've just discovered that the recorder I use for MB had "forgotten" the timeline due to the power cut, so altho I have the fledge recorded, that bit is missing.
Wot with getting embroiled (my fave occupation, as you know) in the LG cam travails, I'm disappearing up my own thingummyjig!
I shall do a video with a fledging time on it but it won't have a working time.
Maya arrives and takes the fish from 33
Maya then flies off with the fish leaving 33 to start the clean up process :)
And so he starts :-D
