Daily Update (LG Nest) Sunday, 7th August, 2011

Great vid SCYLLA.  I didn't see the fish arrival, so missed all the mantling.  Presumably an intruder had followed her in the hope of a cheap meal.  The fish was live too, so found fairly close by, possibly the fish farm at Rothie.

Hi Sheila/Lynette.  I think, too, that EJ was on the nest, stage right, could only just see her tail feathers but sounded like her.  Tore then landed, as per your great captures which I won't duplicate!

I wouldn't have found it without the above stillcam shot, LADYBIRD :-)  Here is Tore making her appearance (I promise she does come into view properly at about 1m15s or so) and Bynack, I think, can be heard chatting.

Thank you again Scylla.  One thing I noticed was that among Tore's happy squeals, there were one or two chirrups that sounded exactly like EJ.  Is she taking on her mum's tones I wonder.

Rain's getting heavier again, and I can hear a shrieking Tween in the distance too.

Thank you Scylla once again for the video.  You are a star!  Like everyone else here though I wish you would get some proper sleep .... :)   ... your health comes first, always.

Took this screenshot today and modified it in psp, and still can't tell who it is !!

Any ideas?

And a very wet EJ leaves, but before that she pottered.

A contender for the most "drowned rat look" pic of the year.

Poor EJ looks right fed-up in this shot. Is it me or does her head and neck look very skinny to you. I have been thinking for about a week that she looks very tired. It's nearly time for your winter hols EJ.

Thank you all for the updates, and Scylla for the videos. Hope your feeling better after some sleep Scylla, I know that I am.

I think that this rain is in for the night at LG. Perhaps tomorrow will be a bit better.
