11.53, Aila comes back but it takes three or four minutes for her to get Louis to budge. Just after Louis flies off, Aila looks watchful and she flies off as well (at 11.57) but Louis quickly returns so the eggs are not unguarded. Ian

Off topic
I've been off piste with feisty House Finches and kitchen work, and now I'm away for the duration due to the need for a nap to prepare for a massive and byzantine domestic upheaval - faulty, heavy, plasma TV must be uninstalled and prepared for removal and I'm going to be without a telly until Thursday at the earliest...
All the rest of the rant = deleted ;)

14.40, Aila is replacing Louis on the nest. A sudden gust of wind catches her and she almost knocks him off the nest! Ian
Ian S said:Mary hasn't posted for a couple of days, does anyone know if she is OK? Ian
!!! I messaged her not 5 minutes ago !!!
Odd snaps.
Norty Aila:
Aila & Louis:
The second the WT logo appeared on my download stream (2 minutes earlier on buffering screen-capture, go figure) - very nice, until it covers something crucial, which isn't very likely ;)
Stick!
Not very long but quite sensible ;)
Louis & Aila - he's waiting to take over:
.
You could almost think there was a third party (besides the wind) involved in this little accident:
From the video, no doubt due to a glitch - screen-capture and download both afflicted:
FISH for tea !!!
And she does it again :o
Louis brought a soft clump around 19:00:
20:28 Aila chased someone, she was gone much less than a minute.
20:38 Louis popped in and out - there may have been an intruder about.
Aila was being rained on, not for the first time today, it showed up well at nightcam time:
At present her feathers are raised - any cause will have to wait for the next round of checks:
Well she may have been a bit suspicious but there's been no intrusion - she had a flyabout 22:54 and got rid of some of the water:
