    An unringed intruder flew in really quickly

    and landed on Flora’s back


     she didn’t take to this kindly


    and stood up straight away


    turning her shoulder to shrug him off and he quickly left.



    Poor Flora, she looked around


    then settled back on her eggs. (presuming she laid a 2nd yesterday)

    Headless fish delivery 18.35


    Flora takes it in her talons to leave the nest.


  • In reply to Glider:

    Flora returns with a wee piece of the fish.


    Harry takes a minute to get up for it.


    It’s in the furthest away talon so he has to move round to the other side.


    They get into a bit of a pickle as Harry tugs to get the fish from Flora’s talons.


    He eventually manages and flies off with his wee bite of supper.

    The sun goes down on another eventful day. All looking peaceful now

    I hope she manages to peck it off, Glider!

    Yes thankfully Sandra, she returned at 08.48 carrying some grasses and all looked well.

    It’s a worry though.

    Oh that is good news!

    Yes it is a worry, Glider...
