One more time : Garten (going to work soon, honest)

Camera found Garten again:) 4.45pm

Please Mr Cameraman, find Mallachie. As lovely as Garten is, this has become the  Garten Show for the past few days. OK I hope Mallachie is out fishing then !!!

Garten's fish is now 7 hours old.

And I love your Avatar Foxtail , but it's not an LG Osprey is it ? Does the bird have a  name and where is he from?

Hi Cirrus

Thank you :0) I just found the photo by googling osprey images. All I know about it is that it was a rescue bird but not a LG bird, I think an American osprey. It did not have a name. I just fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and had to have it for my avatar!

I am happy to read that Odin is taking a little time to take care of himself.  He spent  the entire season fishing for 5. He must be worn out. He needs to build up his fat reserves for his migration. We want him back next year.

Now EJ needs to start taking care of herself. 

EJ and Odin  both gave  everything they had for the  girls. The girls  are healthy and  fat and  it is time they learn to fish.

Love your avatar, too, Foxtail.  Wish I'd thought of that!

Just had a look at Mallachies antics on GE she seems to have been fishing but whether she managed to get a bite is another matter. Or is she a dark horse and eating it away from the nest, can't blame her with you know who hanging around, also noticed she had a very mucky front in a pic not sure if it was yesterday.. She seemed very hungry this morning  but wasn't too bothered when Garten nicked her fish. Who knows--

Thanks to all for their blogs and great pictures captured. Have put a few more in my portfolio

How so, Snowbird? It doesn't look like she's been fishing to me !  Just zooming around a lot. Loch Mallachie, I've heard, is not a good fishing ground and she hasn't been anywhere else that I can see. What have you observed?
