4. 30 a.m. Me again. Sometimes, before I fall into bed, I look at the Groups page and see that my first post of the new day has 6 or 7 replies and get all excited, but then find out it's just me, posting updates! Nest is becoming visible...
Yum....
She seems a little spooked though...
Make the most of today because, unlike Sky+, there isn't a rewind button.
EJ puts Odin to shame yet again! Delivers a whale of a whale to the nest and confusion reigns. Garten heads for EJ's feet to find the fish unaware that it was lying on the nest behind her!
She soon finds it though and quickly claims it. It really is massive.
EJ flies off followed by Rothes who was eating Odin's fish....intruders about. Garten is currently mantling over her fish, alone on the nest.
Morning everyone. See yet another busy morning on the Diary, FB, and this page. I'm with you Margobird, this is a very dangerous place to start the day - all of a sudden it's 10:30 and I've done nothing but catch up on the girls. But gotta update my computer today. Hope to be here again later.
Looks as though it could be a long night again , waiting for that fish to be consumed.
Paula, your commentarys are great, also the pictures to illustrate what you are saying. Thank you once again.
Mallachie is pacing, she desperately wants that fish. She's managing to grab little scraps here and there though.
Intruders seem to be about....
and big sister Rothes joins them to defend the nest...and Garten's fish. She is momentarily distracted whaen she spots Garten's fish though and does a double take!!
The intruders seem to have gone but Garten and Rothes remain on guard...as Mallachie has a lie down!
Panic over so Rothes flies the nest to go back to what she was doing...and Mallachie gets up and goes back to bothering Garten for some dinner.
"..maybe if I put my beak right here she'll accidentally put some in mine instead of hers...."
it's not working, is it?
"OK, see how many of those "punters" out there can tell the difference between heads and tails...."
Me thinks that there's a thunderstorm at LG. The heavens just opened...and I mean just opened. It's lashing down and our girls are soaking.
Neither one of them wants to fly away and leave that fish behind.
Mallachie takes the opportunity to try and take the fish from a distracted Garten to no avail.
Looking rather bedraggled...
.....showing that despite all those puffy feathers there really isn't much to an osprey.
Thismis my first time typing and I don't know if I have done it properly. Just to say I have been out and your commentaries are brilliant Paula .
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.

See Tish, you managed fine : ) they'll be no stopping you now, you'll be blogging all over the place now.
That was some shower they had to contend with.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Spike Milligan
Thank you Tish, again that means a lot.
I'm having webcam issues so viewing is a bit sparce but I'll do what I can. We have one girl on the nest tucking into that fish. Can't make out an aerial from this distance :( Why couldn't they have left it zoomed in like last night? Oh...es, there IS an aerial so I'm guessing it's......erm....either Mallachie or Rothes!!! Well at least this fish won't get dried to a frazzle after that rain. Fish soup more like it!
