Weekly Chat, Sunday 15 May 2011

Last week there was an interesting event at the nest. A male tried to land on the nest which upset EJ  and then sat in a tree next to the nest "with  Odin" . Odin seemed  comfortable enough with the intruding male that he went fishing and brought a fish back for EJ

Is there any information on how adult siblings react to each other?  Could that male been a sibling of Odin which would account for his  lack of concern.  If so Odin may have brought a fish for EJ to show  his brother " his" nest .  

Barbara Jean It is very rare to see adult siblings together since it is so unlikely  for more than one chick from a nest to survive migration.

However there have been  a number of sibling interactions at Rutland the scene of yesterday's bad news.

Sheila - I thought Margo was setting off to Florence on Wednesday and coming home this coming Sunday!

Are the adult siblings agressive toward each other as if they were  strangers?

afternoon all. I think this is the right place for the chat!

Oh dear OG.  Me and my memory!  I thought she was away 14-18 May!!  I really must make a note of these things.

Hello Gary, nice to 'see' you again.  Fun, isn't it, trying to find your way around. 

Now one thing I haven't fathomed so far is how to bring the original 'chat' together with your response.  I've typed in the bottom box 'reply' and typed in the 'reply' to a response and each gives a solo response.  Any help gratefully received!
