Last season Louis and Aila arrived on their nest almost at the same instant on the 4th of April. Here's to a repeat, but a few days earlier to save our anxiety.

Ian S said:Wish me luck, if after the "appointment" I still have two ears I suppose it will be judged a success.
I know just how you feel, IAN - my brother cuts my hair :o
BTW, your commentary is very welcome, please don't stop. I just am not doing well at the moment to take advantage of it. I did do an Aila's Homecoming video but it's already been done by the time I get around to it :-/
See y'all later.
Good Morning ALL
I hope you survived the haircut Ian. :-)
Pretty Aila on the nest awaiting breakfast maybe, not scrolled back yet to see if any activity.

From scroll back have seen the progression of the nest preparations this morning, and Louis I am very impressed at your prowess , all in the space of 30 minutes :-)
Bare at 06.18 hrs and the first delivery of straw arrives.
He mantles a bit @ 06.19 after placing the straw
By 06.27 more moss has appeared
A big stick appeared which Aila is dealing with :-)
By 06.35 look how cosy the nest looks already - nice one Louis
Hi MARY I ws just coming to say the same things.....about how beautifully lined the nest is after being bare earth
Aila is struggling on where to place the TV Aerial though LOL
Morning all, a reasonable looking morning on the nest weatherwise. I am not posting to the WT chat this year as I find the new tool Commento to be rubbish (that means all of my pearls of wisdom will be reserved for here), however looking back at the posts there seems to have been at least three matings this morning as well as all the excellent home decorating that has been done. All in all therefore a very satisfactory last 24 hours or so. Ian PS - You'll be pleased to hear that I still have somewhere to rest both my spectacle legs i.e. I survived my ordeal yersterday afternoon unscathed!
Birdies LG DU update.
