LOCH GARTEN UPDATES AND WEBCAM INFORMATION - 2021

A second alien landed briefly on the campost but someone on the cam who'd kindly zoomed in didn't hang around to zoom out again so that we could see it:

Mistle and Axel each came back to the nest briefly, it started pouring with rain, can't tell if it still is.

Well it is all happening today. On lunch at work so have no sound until I get home to iPad. Will be great to hear them on the nest. By George indeed Scylla, he has got the hang of this mating thing!!! Fluffballs in the making, I hope so!!
thanks for everyone's updates and comments.

I hope that LG keep these names, I do like them.

They have both come back, phew.

The cam has been zoomed out again, after Axel went up to the campost.  It's a shame they have no-one spare to sit watching it with us and zoom/sway according to...

I'm just doing a vid of fish-calling but can't, on the original, hear her voice at all, let's see if anything can be done.

I think both intruders were unringed

Thank you, HANK - I didn't see the one on the campost's ankles but the nest lander's certainly had no rings.

It's good to see both Mistle and Axel back on the nest after a bit of an absence - but Axel got over-excited and back to his old incompetent ways

I hope he's gone fishing now - and talking of fishing, there was absolutely no sound coming from Mistle when she was fish-calling, just the inexorable humbuzz.

Kitchen break coming up here, SYAL.

Well that was interesting!  Were the intruders a pair in search of a nest, or just another passing singleton in search of both a mate and a nest.

I love this.

Mistle seemed quite at ease about it all, and Axel a trifle concerned.  Neither seemed to be sure of how to get rid of the intruder.

Mistle is on the nest alone and the sun has come out.

Hum has gone, but there appears to be no sound.. 14.22 hum back but not as loud 

A regal Mistle, as she waits for a late lunch
