Daily Update (LG nest) Tuesday, 5th July 2011

great capture, Scylla!

An hour later (20.20) EJ returns to the nest, standing on the rhs off camera.  A bit of nagging from both Tweenies.

EJ arrived on the nest ... and was greeted by an attack from naughty Bynach. She's gone again ... I don't blame her!!

She definitely seems to prefer that corner as 'landing pad' - even when it means standing on the kids. I think it was Bynack who pecked EJ in protest this time - cheeky lad :)

Didn't stop long - she seems to have the fidgets today. Or else is fed up with being nagged!

20.24 It took four minutes to post my last note, and in the meantime EJ has left the nest again.  I see that DJOANS spotted a bit of argy bargy from Bynack and that was the reason she left.

Well I never!  I thought it was only Tore who was ungrateful :o  I had a clip of it but it was "unprintable".

Instead, I think this is Bynack at the back - watch his foot :-)  (If this one looks small it's because it is, it's my first effort at "cropping" the dimensions.)

Thanks for all the effort to post comments , pictures and  videos!!  I know I can't post any  pictures.

It is interesting this year that  both Tore and Bynack attack EJ .  I don't recall one  situation where  Rothes, Mallachie nor Garten attacked her

And last year there was only one  time  a chick attacked her.

They had all fledged and Eldest didn't come to the nest for the evening fish.

The next day Odin and EJ decided to  cut back on the fish  deliveries. Late in the day when Odin arrived with a fish Eldest grabbed it and went into a rage. He mantled over the fish. He attached both Middle and Titch . He was so hungry!! EJ arrive a few  minutes later with a fish and he attacked her too.  She didn't react, but kept looking under his tail and saw he had a fish so must have wondered what the  rage was about.  He  was screaming  at his fish because it was hard to rip open.  I felt so sorry for him being so hungry that he went on the attack . EJ then started bringing more fish in the  days that followed

Scylla, that was just lovely. He performed the standing on one leg so casually and didn't wobble at all.

Has anyone checked how many fish today, please. I have no idea. If not I will go back.

Poor EJ ... I think she wants to brood the GEMs and shelter them from the rain ... but all she gets is another peck!

EDIT - and then another peck or two ... and she decides enough is enough and flies off!
