Lovely snaps, GLIDER

I ventured to Cam2 today (sorry, yesterday!) and saw that it was focused on the river instead of the nest and meant to go back and check that all was OK - but am only on about 10% power lately.

Heather has given us some wonderful scenes and creatures in past years.

Elen is on her eggs and Aran is standing beside her preening - lovely chorus of critters in the background, plus wind.

Another quick check, first time I've got the laptop out since last post.

Checked Chat, Elen was wiggling down on the eggs, someone said "so much drama on the nests this year, glad ours is rubbing along nicely".  Enough said
