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.

Thank you, MARY - terrific video, too!
(I've tried 4 affectionate emojis but none of them will show up!)
13.40, Aila flies off quickly with a couple of calls & is away for seven minutes. 14.04, Louis brings in a nice headless fish, Aila departs with it in her beak. 14.49, Aila returns and drops a piece of bark on Louis to get him to budge. Ian

Wow!
I'm reinstalling Windows on that noo (ultra sloth-like) laptop but am about to fall asleep - just letting y'all know what a fine mess I've got myself into again and it may get worse...
Hang on in there Scylla, given that Aila has only ever laid three eggs, hopefully things will now be nice and calm until hatching time. Ian

Except, I see from my downloader that the Arkaig stream has been dropping out every few seconds :(
Anyway, I'm packing up, things are going very badly and I don't think I'll be doing much reporting tonight or tomorrow morning :'(
Just saw Aila snoozing beautifully, that's a sight to keep hopeful for ;)
It looks like powder snow on Aila's back, wish she would tuck her head in like Mrs.G and get some sleep.
Good Night Aila

Two of yesterday's fishes :)
She was gone for 45 minutes with this one:
This was when the stream was dropping out, I've only got the delivery because Aila disappeared with it:
Here was Aila looking like a chicken as she settled on her eggs ;-*
It's the routine 04:00 buffer time now and I'm concerned we may have missed something because Aila was settling back on the eggs after ???
EDIT - Checked on rollback and it skipped there too, but I don't think there was a disturbance.
