Ugh. Agree with others, not even appearing as a choice. Complete disregard.

Catlady, at the very end of the email, there is a green area with "Contact Us". Follow that link then scroll to the end, where there is a statement that they would like to hear from us to let them know how they are doing, etc. with a blue "Email Us" link. I have had an automated reply saying they have a very heavy load of email traffic at the moment.
Smiles, Jan.

FISH according to SHEILA
But I don't have all the files :(((
04.40 #1 - No, sorry.
07.42 #2
13.17 #3 - Nope
17.27 #4 "whole, large" = Whopper!
Axel popped back @ 17:41 but didn't bring or take anything away:
Chick feed not over till 18:19. then Mistle fed herself.
This was definitely a fish because we could see Mistle drag it away from him and then she fed the chicks - but can't be sure if it's some of the whopper returned or a new one - my betting is the latter:

The cam went thru a poor patch overnight, lurching with horizontal shadow-stripes, OK now apart from the mist.
Will we recognise the chicks when we eventually see them again?
Mistle brought a stick, it looked as tho she bashed the chicks while trying to place it, she had quite a tussle with it and it ended up at the back-right, I think!
Eww, this is an au naturel picture of the current scene:
Just visited Chat - I wonder if "Jan" is one of us?
I've been thinking - with a heavy heart - that no matter how angry and disappointed we may be regarding Mistle's new name, she's going to get one. We can't go on using the cherished name that feels part of her now, she must have a universal name that the RSPB approves.
I only wish that the choices offered were more inspiring - then I remember how horrible I thought Bynack was, until it became a lovely and loved name
