Daily Update (LG Nest) Saturday 21st August

Hi folks,

Its still blowing gale up at LG.

There were two deliveries today.  Morning one by EJ and teatime one by Odin.  Middle and Titch are still around for feeding so it looks more probable that Eldest has started his migration.

Ir was a very windy day at LG yesterday and is still blowing away.

Over to you on the early morning shift and keep those marvellous witty and amusing commentaries coming. We do appreciate them.

I will say cheerio for now and see you all in the morning.

    The nest looks lovely in the evening sunshine, and the wind seems to have dropped a bit. One GEM flew off ... not sure if the other did, or if its just off screen!

    Joan: I'm not normally a big fan of cropped captures as the vast majority become too pixelated to be clear, but that's a really nice one - thanks.

    I don't actually count that one as a 'cropped' picture Sandy, it was a capture using MWSnap 'any area' tool. I'm like you ... not a great fan of pixelated pictures!

  • Same here Sandy. Many of the enlarged ones on here end up pixelated. From my point of view it completely spoils a capture when that happens. Much better to preserve detail by keeping them smaller.

    It was Cirrus who put me onto MWSnap .... if you Google it, you can get a free download!

  • I'm afraid I can only send this picutre at the moment on a Word attachment.

    I took it on 22nd July when all 3 and EJ were feeding from a fish on the nest.

    I'll send another later.

  • wow, over 12 hours. My goodness:)) That chick deserves a medal for finishing it up. Thanks for all the reports.

    Tiger, I'm being dim, which are your captures everyone's talking about? 

    Empty nest now

  • Hi Gary, here's one of them, stunning:

  • Hi Gary. In addition to the one that Sandy has pointed out there is one at 7.45am on this thread. See http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/groups/lochgartenospreys/forum/t/21818.aspx?PageIndex=3

     

    Some lovely ones by Diane too.
