Daily Update. Sunday 17th April, 2011

Things sounding a little breezy at LG, and just a few minutes go, EJ stood up to let me see both eggs for the first time :-)

  • Hello Cirrus

    Yes, thanks to you I can now take photos from Internet Explorer with Windows Media Player in a larger size using Debut. I could also do it with MW Snap, but it seems more instant with Debut as I can watch the action through that window then just click on the camera several times whenever I need to.

  • Just catching up and thanks for the posts and pics since this afternoon.

    All looks quiet and she is just sitting there looking around her - that big branch to the left of the nest as we look at it. Seems its not going to go away.Back to us at present.

    I've been thinking about what I saw happening with EJ on the nest last night.  She was definitely pushing, and quite strongly.  I wonder now if she has to do this to start the process of producing the next egg?  That would certainly explain what i saw, and would certainly put EJ in control of how many eggs she produces.  Anybody have any thoughts on this? 

    To be honest I have no idea what was going on. I have no recollection of anything like it before or at least not that I remember. As I said somewhere else EJ did lay two eggs in two hours back in 2007 but that was special circumstances. My view in that case was that somehow the "new" male (Henry) somehow forced her to lay more quickly than normal so that he could get his new clutch under way.

  • EJ seemed a bit restless a few mins ago. You can just see the eggs as she got up to have a fidgit. Now sat back on them.

  • I have a Mac. I found an application to take a screen shot. I managed to get one and it is on my desktop. Now I can figure out how to get it posted on the  forum. Any ideas?? 

    Yikes I did  it now  if I can recall  HOW it did it  LOL

    Edit: I saw it for a moment but now  I doesn't  show  up

    Now it looks like it worked --Thanks

    Wattle: I, too, saw that behavior last night. Any explanation I could offer would be a guess. I can say only that EJ was clearly in some sort of physical distress. I saw some similar movements on 16th April at 3:54 AM, and posted the observation. :-)

  • Hi Barbara Jean - png files are huge, can take ages to load and cause problems. Saving as jpeg is far better and takes up less space on your hard drive.

    PS am on a PC not Mac so am just guessing the file format might be contributing to your problems.

    I am going to  change it to a  jpeg and see it it will load. Wish me  luck LOL 

    Edit : It appears it loaded as a  jpg

  • One snag is the screen print application that I have doesn't give me a choice as to  how to save it. But I can go in and change it after it is on my desktop 

    It definitely is not as  quick as  what most of you are  using. It takes a  bit of fiddling to  get it done.  But it will do if I see  an amazing shot  such as when i saw the first egg. Thank goodness Auntie was around to take a screen shot for us . 

    I may look for a better  screen  shot program when I have time. This one is part of my Operating system
