3: a.m. in UK. Dark at the nest - just setting this up while the iron heats up!
Don't they look sad! And wet, too. It isnt very nice up at LG now, so maybe that will be the prompt for them to depart for warmer climes soon.
Things have certainly changed . When they were chicks Garten was constantly bullying Mallachie. Now they are side by side helping each other call for food, as if they are the best of friends ! They don't even attack each other when one gets a fish. The other one just waits for an opening to try to grab it or waits for the next fish .

Garten is considerably larger than Mallachie. I still wonder if Mallachie is a male. I guess they will know if she/he comes back and does a "sky dance" LOL
Mallachie, home alone and waiting.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Garten was with her when I looked a couple of minutes ago. They lookd a bit fed up - if the weather in Strathspey is like ours in Co Down today, I don't blame them!
Two little dickie birds sat upon a wall, well a nest anyway, looking and waiting
The more you rush, the longer it takes
Thanks for all the reports everyone.
I haven't seen EJ or Odin today and haven't heard mention of them anywhere.
Great anagram Sandy.
Gary, I haven't seen either EJ or Odin today. Just the two girls. Having said that I also have this sneaking feeling that Mallachie just might turn out to be a male.
But Foxtail: the girls had their DNA taken when they were ringed and tagged ! Chromosomes can't lie can they? I've been out all day looking after a friends who I took for a nuclear scan this morning so I'm really out of the loop. Maybe this is where EJ and Odin draw the line in providing fish and deal out some 'tough love'.( Well, I'm looking in on the Mentalist now - it's end of season finale) so I'll be looking in at advert time.
Jane, did they have their DNA taken? I can't remember. I know they did it on another site.
You never know Foxtail!! She is certainly more laid back and easy going and ready to do as she's told, all good male traits!!!
