DAILY UPDATE (Loch Garten nest) Tuesday 8 May 2012

The sun is starting to break through :)

Thanks for the videos, Moffer and Scylla - I often miss the action in trying to capture a still!

EJ flew in and landed so gracefully in those videos.

I've got a black pic on wider view :-(

I've got a black pic on wider view :-(

The wide view cam is black on Carnyx as well, but the goldeneye cam is working again having been off for much of the weekend. Hum is also louder than yesterday- seems to be the case when it has been wet at LG.

Oh lordy, it's way past my bedtime, I'm dreading a fish delivery without Moffer or RtB (where the heck are you, RtB? you weren't here all day yesterday! hope all is well) or me to put it on visual record.  If the worst comes to the worst I should (failing accidents) have it later.  Or maybe ALAN will save the day :-)

Odin with STICK, he's bashing EJ with it >:(

08:41 Odin returns with stick, drops it on EJ to persuade her to move!

Here's a little glimpse of the eggs as Odin settles

He had a couple of goes at her, and was looking very determined!

Those eggs look more mottled now:  we were all remarking on how white they were when they were laid.  I wonder if they do change colour with time?

Thanks for all your posts and pics - good to see a bit of sun on the nest today.

Sorry can't help with recording pics today, I have to go out.

Odin looking quite fiendish having disturbed EJ with stick!

Hope you don't mind, Scylla, I've taken this still from your video - I've only just realised I can do this.

Is nothing sacred any more? ;-D  Of course i don't mind, Birdsong :-*

EJ's back.

She brought a tiny clump of moss.

Can't even check if Odin's in a tree cos the wide cam is down :-(  I positively have to go now.

10:15 Odin IS in tree - that's why EJ keeps chirping!

It means go FISH, Odin!!!
