Morning all - and morning EJ!

Thanks Margobird and Cirrus - yes you cannot beat the thrill of spying a bird and watching what they are up to, Whimbrells are not supposed to be in that area and a guy at RSPB (Whimbrell Watch RSPB Magazine) say they are on their migration, but we have been up there in May, June, and Aug September and have seen those Whimbrells fly into the bay, don't want to argue with the experts ha ha but its too much of a coincidence I think that we see them in all those different months. Oh you can't imagine how thrilled I was to see that Sea Eagle right above us, I was almost jumping up and down with excitement.... (no wonder he/she flew off)

Or as they used to say in WW II : "Up with the lark and to bed with the Wren" ;-)
What a lovelly sight, both chicks with bulging crops. Storm just fell over with the weight of all that fish. Odin is truly magnificent as a provider and of course it goes without saying EJ is a fantastic mum
Mary,Like you I only joined recently and it is addictive! I am so enjoying watching the developments every day and seeing all the lovely pictures which are posted. Not to mention the great comments and info. We are heading up to LG for a few days in the middle of June and can't wait!!
PS. Enjoy your holiday and hope you get lovely weather for all your bird watching
..and i´m just sitting here quietly and enjoying the fun too...great isn´t it? this time tomorrow we´ll have flown in and be approaching loch garten. LG is our first port of call in a three week trip thru highlands and western isles. all packed and ready to go.
Have a great time, muckyduck. I'm just sitting here going a lovely shade of green at the thought of where you will be going......
These two chicks must now be so full they will burst if they move!
Muckybird, Nice to know you're there. I am supposed to be gardening but would rather be watching this. Hope you have a great holiday too. Don't forget the sun lotion!!!
....or even Muckyduck!!
Ah, a ''lurker'' - making themselves known - welcome muckyduck. Well you two, Pam I bet you can't wait for the next to weeks to be over and to be on your way. The chicks will be so big then !! Much to do going on. And muckyduck .... what can I say, just, you're in for a great great time.
