LOL, B&B, I would love to have seen the expression on your face when Odin took off with that fish!! It would have outdone EJ's I'm sure. Your posts said it all.
Night cam is on, but still daylight at 10:00p.m. That is about late as daylight lingers here on our longest day in late June. I'm hearing some plink plink, but at least it isn't clinkety-clack and not so frequent. So maybe not so heavy for now. But mist, rain (?) is beginning to settle over the trees in the near background.
EJ stood up, turned an egg and I had to tell her not to step on Little Blue. She/he was right by her foot, but EJ was careful and all was well. She settled back down again.
June my face was not nice and as my mother used to say "Pull a face like that and if the wind changes, you will stay like that"
I have had a re-think and EJ did not get up to try to take the fish as she would usually and it must be down to keeping "Little Blue" warm.
More danger from the cold and rain and hope weather is better tommorrow and I am a worrier :)
Just for the record.
Egg #1 was laid at 5.15pm on Monday April 9
Thus that means that the egg was incubated for 6 hours 45 minutes on 9th April
Then there are 21 more days in April
15 days in May until 15th
and 23 hours and 30 minutes on 16 May
Thus 21 + 15 = 36 days
but 23 hours and 30 minutes + 6 hours and 45 minutes = 1 day 6 hrs and 15 minutes
Thus total incubation time = 37 days 6 hours and 15 minutes

Yep, I believe you Tiger!! Lol lol
Can't settle this argument by blaming it on leap year, can we? Since leap year day is in February. :)
No doubt whatsoever Tiger.
