RSPB Giving Nature a Home
Both GEMS make sure shrift of that small one, both were trying to get their fill from mum.
Well that one didn't last long.
Brilliant captures everyone!! :) Cirrus will be pleased - 8 fish :)))
Hazel, of course you can copy my pics, and I'm meaning to try downloading videos from YouTube (but I can't fit everything in) and I'll let you know if I succeed, then if there's anything unusual - like Storm being caught by a fish - you can save them for when you need cheering up ;-) The reason being, when video is stored on your hard drive you can skip, rewind, fast forward, etc.
Thanks for the pics!
IMAGICAT
Is Odin aiming to equal last year's record today?! Certainly being his usual Magnificent self.
Just about managed to catch up - thanks everyone. Some great captures/ videos (love the upside-down GEM!)
Must be a bit chilly up at LG: both GEMs somehow managing to snuggle up under mum's wings.
Just catching up now before I head to bed, thank you for the brilliant pics and videos everyone, now I dont feel like I have missed anything by being out today.
Paul/Heron77 - We put out Nyger seed and only the young sparrows are eating it, didnt know about the Sunflower hearts, havent seen them before but I see that the RSPB has opened a shop at Loch Lomond Shores so I am sure they will have it. Those young starlings are entertaining, it always amazes me that they know what to look for and to do so quickly after fledging, its the squabbles amongst them getting those fat ba's in the feeders that is funny. I wonder how a moorhen ended up in the middle of a housing estate!!! thats why all birds are so fascinating...
Hazel - your post about Odin flying with his bag for life really made me laugh, I can just imagine him popping into the fish farm asking for a dozen rainbows please...
Odin has been fantastic today, is the count 8 Fish.... no wonder we all adore him.
What has his record been in the past??
Sounds as though the rain has started at LG, I can hear the plink plink.... poor EJ another soggy night in store for her. I feel like she should have an umbrella to shove up when it rains LOL...
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023

EJ is such a brilliant mother, how she is managing to protect her GEMS is a marvel.... you can see the raindrops on her back.... AWWWWW!!!
