Ian, please re-consider. Your contributions and observations are valuable. I really believe Scylla would never say anything intentionally which would hurt anyone, and I am sure it was said in jest.
Aila checks and turns the eggs
and settles again

16.53 Fish delivery, swiftly handed over. Aila flies with it, Louis incubates
Louis wasn't happy, checked the eggs, paddled beneath him and settles for a second time
How lovely to see the trees so green - just think what they were like a few weeks ago!
I'm packing up, my internet is so slow I can't load pages and I'm tired out with the struggle :( SYAL :)

Oh dear, my heart is in my boots :'(
As for Aila - last takeover from Louis, she'd brought another piece of bark:
She got glistened on, but I found no other intrusions:
After looking around periodically she's been nodding off :-*
Well despite ALL our assurances that Scylla would never intentionally say anything to hurt Ian, it looks like he definitely has not changed his mind about posting which is a sad loss not only to the Loch Arkaig thread but to the forum in general.
I have had a quick scroll back and can see no fish deliveries yet this morning, however Aila is looking especially resplendent.

Aila is such a pretty Osprey, cannot resist taking caps of her.
Oh dear the rain is getting heavier now - I thought Aila would have shook the rain drops off her back when she got up but she didn't, instead she settled back down again giving the eggs a good shoogle!
