She was back in less than half an hour.
Louis brought a stick which he landed on Aila but his wings were in the way. No harm done. He stayed for 5 minutes.
He was back @ 1940 and after a 7-minute vigil Aila flew and he incubated:
Aila returned @ 20:10 and took over for the night, which was punctuated with quite a few dozes and plenty of alerts but no intrusions (that I saw in very FFFFF):
It rained from about 04:00 but not heavily:
Spoke too soon:
She had a dry-out fly-about, tripping on return:
Soon got wet again - we are both concerned because we haven't seen Louis yet
Unless a rollback expert can find him.

Haha, I stopped the clip 10 minutes too soon!
Watching her flyaway carefully, I think she transferred from beak to talon while out of our picture:
Morning Scylla. I'd been busy snipping behind your back, so I might as well post too!
A quick exchange, Aila flies and Louis settles
Aila leaves quickly with her fish, and Louis immediately gets down to incubating
nearly settled
That's it!
Aren't the colours really vivid after rainfall

Changeable weather in the glen today. Now rain is tinkling on the mic

Too right !!! I've got tunnel vision, as usual, so didn't see you there until I scrolled up to look for Ian ;) Good morning, Sheila :-*
LOL but Aila stood on his tail to get to the other side of the nest, and moved licheny twigs and sticks until he moved and she could sneak in to incubate. Louis flew off immediately he was up. As he flew off a white feather fell gently down and try as I may I can't capture it!
Edit: Got it
