A big Thank You, Korky :-*

Thanks KORKY for starting off the thread, intro and for the webcam link.

Looking forward to another season here for it has been fascinating following Alia and Lewis' progress.

Wishing them both a safe journey home and for another successful season.

Thanks for setting this up Korky, looking forward to seeing Louis & Aila again. Ian

Thanks Trying. Fingers crossed that Lachie will be seen.

Thanks, Korky, for the new thread and to Trying for the details of last year, etc. Fingers crossed for the successful return of this pair and for a successful year.

Thanks Trying for the information. Being a bit pedantic & with every chance of being wrong (I'm relying on my memory here), I seem to recall that the second egg was the one that failed so eggs 1 & 3 hatched. Ian
