    You spiked my guns, IAN Tired faceHeart eyes 

    I've been beavering away at this for the past more-than-an-hour, having got such a lovely shock to see Izzi on the ledge and thinking what a wonderful flyer s/he must be, and then finding the true story from my downloads!

    The story starts when Diamond brings a prey item to the scrape, presumably hoping to find Izzi there or to encourage his/her return...

    Izzi was sleeping on the ledge when I last checked.

  • I just asked on Chat re gender and am told the consensus is "It's a boy!".

    (My words.)
  • Izzi got another meal later and has been sleeping on the scrape.

    I'm packing up for a while.
  • Thanks, Scylla. Izzi seems to lead a charmed life and does not seem to have learned the lesson of not balancing on the ledge on one foot or while sleeping or preening. How are you betting that Izzi accidentally falls out again?!

    Kind regards, Ann

    There's a nearly moment near the end of this, which covers teatime to midnight:

    18 November 02:42 - something brought Diamond in, there must have been a potential intruder nearby:

    What a lovely picture in the early-morning light, shame he's tucked so tight in the corner:

    Frame turns out to be the wrong colour, don't think I can fix it:

    Breakfast 07:10:

    Xavier brought in an unplucked Starling and Izzi eventually had some earnest practice sessions with it:

    14:07 Oz time, 03:07 UK time, no-one had come to help when I stopped that download to work on it.

    (I edited it into this post, which is why the posting time is 'out'.)

    Wow!  No mistake this time Heart eyes 

  • Diamond brought lunch, waited 15 minutes:

    From Chat:

  • I've just seen on the chat thread that Izzi managed to fly into a window after the successful fledge and is spending the night at the vet's. Cilla caught Izzi again and some suggest that she was alerted to the newest mishap by workmen. They will find out tomorrow if the issue is serious or not.

    Kind regards, Ann
