Morning all: Just tuned in to find breakfast has already been served.
THANKS Annette, what would we do without you, we would have no way of knowing what goes on overnight,
so already a FISH delivery.... Good Ole Odin!!!
Nest looks empty - EJ must be on fly about or either she is hiding to the side again....
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Been trying to do the Quote thingy from one of Heron's posts from last night but I couldnt find out how to do it. So hopefully Heron will find this post.
I am fair envious of you Heron getting Great Spotted W's and Gold Finches in your garden, as well as all those other birds, and you make me laugh with your turn of phrase too about the Doo's etc. Id be over the moon if I got Gold Finches in our garden, we are only about 1/2 a mile from farmland too, but we only get blue tits, and the rest of your list too, no Coal Tits though. I had to laugh at you saying about the Stuckie at a Fat Ba, as soon as we put the Fat Ba's out, the Starlings just appear from nowhere, its amazing that even the young ones know to fight over getting to them, sometimes its like a scene from the birds with them lining up along the fence, we even had a hooded crow on the feeder yesterday.
The most exotic we have had was this bird that we have never been able to identify..... we thought maybe a night heron during migration, maybe someone more knowledgeable can tell me if they recognise what this bird is. Sorry about the poor quality of the photo but it was taken through the window which were'nt so clean at the time. The photo was taken 06 Oct 2009. We thought a Heron because of the size of the feet, so who better to ask than the Heron77 himself... (or anyone else who knows what it is please)....
Hi Mary: Been busy this evening - EJ has been off the nest for some time, but she may be close by. Chickies are fine!
EJ is back.

" Was that a more acurate landing dear?"
EJ must have been sitting in the tree and saw Odin coming .
I think Star's body is as long as EJ's
