  Many thanks for the OP at LG 2023. It is the one close to my heart, as it is the first nest I followed 11 years ago now, with our beloved EJ and Odin and the only place I have been to, have visited twice. Loch Arkaig and Lowes will be the other two that would be suitable for me to visit (4ish hours from home, fitted in with a holiday) but the others sadly, are too far away. I hope Axel and Mistle (Asha) return safely and have another successful year. I also hope that our fellow contributors, who have left us, return to be with us again and we can all enjoy following our beloved birds together.

  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  In reply to Glider:

  Glider said:

  Am I right in thinking LG didn’t like the name Mistle as it sounded like Missile?

  That's what Fergus said when he responded to objections - but some people here felt that he was being very flippant, not understanding how deeply upset they were.

  It's only Americans who pronounce missile as missle, anyway, and our Americans are very easy-going about such things ♥

  (This was typed yesterday but left unposted.

  In the meantime - I haven't tried to contact anyone about the cam being down for so long - as I still have Fergus's tetchiness uppermost... well, after Richard Thaxton's frequent admonishing "be patient"

  EDIT - the cam's back up, same URL - but with a splodge on the lens, water, I think:

  15 March

  Representing the Crossbill couple and maybe a couple of other little visitors foraging on a dark morning from 07:15 onwards - this guy hopped to the fence from an invisible perch to the left of the cam:

  

  I hope this was a good omen
