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

Oh Scylla! This is too too dreadful. Poor Daisy. Where is she? This reminds me of the nest at Loch Arkaig in 2018 when the Pine Marten took Aila's eggs.

Oh woe!  The Ravens are making away with (and destroying?) Daisy's eggs (watched by a Lorikeet).

Oh no!! We see some wonderful things on webcams from around the world but also some very sad things too. 

Oh no, poor Daisy Duck, did this note happen last year as well?

I just don't want to know

Yes, CATLADY, it happened last year too.

Here's a very long video, some FF, of the raid and Daisy's reactions.  I don't think she's been back since the end of the vid.

Can't watch it ,sorry Scylla

OH CRAP. I have been so afraid of this happening whenever she'd leave the nest... You'd think the lorikeets would rush in to help, but they seem like a Greek chorus instead though. :-(

A shortie:

Yes, CC - I'd love to know if the Lorikeet watching from the back was appalled or merely interested.

The evening after the tragedy, Daisy Duck and her husband visited the nest - Daisy (I presume, with hubby standing by) examined the nest for several minutes, then flew off, he followed a split second later:

EDIT

The next morning brought a little flock of Rainbow Lorikeets - one of them had a yellow tail, which I haven't noticed before.  A student via google said "Liver disease causes green feathers to turn yellow and can be caused by nutritional deficiencies".  Whether that's relevant, I do not know, and am spending no more time on it today.

EDIT

And if you're at a loose end, there are some lovely bird photos on this Twitter page - including, if you scroll and scroll, an Osprey and a Kestrel, but first some familiar and not-so-familiar.

EDIT 2

Oh dear, it just goes to show... the birds who were at the top of the "list" have disappeared already - there was a lovely UK Robin, Goldfinch and Blackbird...

Scott in Akron Ohio put out a couple of very appetising-looking dangly balls but I couldn't find any birds interested.

Doesn't Daisy ever learn ! how many times in a row sigh

absolutely lovey portraits of birdies on   your  Twitter link Scylla. - Robin is still there, one just has to keep scroooooooooling down. Thank you for the link
