Hi everyone :-)
It's a lovely calm night at LG tonight. I can even hear Mr Tawny Owl calling, followed by Mrs Tawny Owl :-)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Thanks for all the pictures and updates. I was gone most of today so it is great that I can catch up. It looks like the rain washed the " poo" off the camera lense :)

Thanks for your updates and pics since teatime.
EJ certainly looks damp

The light in Lynette's picture is very flattering to the equipment. I think I noticed the same thing yesterday. It's the period just before the night cam comes on. Dusk, I suppose ;-D
It's very quiet here tonight, and in Loch Garten.

EJ went for a fly-around, when she returned she tried to settle down but Storm (at least, I think it was Storm) came out and started alarm-calling. I really thought there must be something wrong with him/her for a while, then s/he tucked his head under EJ. I recorded that bit - when I'd named the file and got back to the nest there were further disturbances underneath EJ, poor girl can't get her beauty sleep. I recorded that too ;)
Here's the video of the "alarum" sequence:

Maybe it's always like this, but the night is so disturbed! EJ has been flying around and settling back down over and over again :o The nest looks as though there's a light shining on it :-/
Scylia I just watched your video and I can't tell which chick is calling, but I think it is "calling Odin for food" LOL It is facing the tree where Odin sits.
That has to be Star. That chick is a character.
The thing is, before I got the video going it looked as though the bigger chick tucked in under EJ. But I couldn't rewind to be sure, of course. Thinking about it, you're probably right :)
I've started a new thread :)
