'FORUM FRIENDS, WILDLIFE-FROM-WHEREVER' (Off-season, all cams off at Loch Garten)

Oh my indeed scylla, one well covered Owl, reminded me of our dear EJ in her snow cocoon!

That is just amazing Scylla, thanks for posting, I was watching a pair of Tawnies roosting last Fri but they were in a conifer with thick cover so no pics unfortunately

With regard to "what to do with this thread"...

I've got laptops in dire need of repair.

I shall shortly retire from Bald Eagles, but when Harriet's egg/s is/are close to hatching, all being well, I will probably not be able to resist covering them.  I would like to keep the Sydney Sea Eagles downloading, in view of the difficulties down under, just to note when they appear.

Starr Ranch Barn Owls and Trail cams are all-year-round for me, but their (Flash) cams are very easy to deal with - however they won't be quite so easy when they are transferred to YouTube.

When the LG feeder comes back on, I'll hopefully be downloading that and hopefully scanning thru and snapping periodically. If you are going to make a "miscellaneous" thread within LG forums, maybe LG and any other feeders should be included ???

Whatever happens to this thread, I shan't be contributing nearly as much.

The above are thoughts from a tired, muddled mind.

======================

I need help with this one, from anyone including TEEJAY - the best I can do is Grey Goshawk.  No-one was on duty to zoom, especially from the Twitch cam.

Probably useless snap:

Not long after, fortunately, came a Noisy Miner:

Hope the repairs are going OK Scylla

Absolutely fabulous   Both the video and the fact of the matter ;)  Thank you, Korky.

Sydney WB Sea Eagles

The first visit was only caught just before it flew:

This was a 20-minute visit, no energetic activity before they flew from a branch:

Then the Lorikeets invaded but could only be seen en masse far off on the Twitch cam:

Then, I think, a Magpie but I'm not stoppin' to firm up on it, I know there's another pesky black and white bird that pestered the eagles before they fledged.  It required a heckuva zoom:
