Hi, Rusty!
Yes to everything!
Yes, the weather is improving rapidly......although I am told we are to have a very heavy frost tonight.
And, yes, the dog is indeed delighted to be home!
And she is fully aware that, having been bathed and trimmed, she looks very smart!
All going well here......
But not so on the Loch of the Lowes Osprey website, I gather?
I have quickly looked though all the correspondence........
I am somewhat confused?
Why should old videos be being shown?
Is it a 'con' to allay fears that the webcam might not be fixed in time?
I hope that Laddie arrives safely...but not too soon before the webcam is indeed fixed!
How far will Miss ATW have got by now?
My sense of Geography is so poor, I am unaware of her (likely) route?

Hello, Jigjag!
Sorry for the delay.... I have been out and have only just seen your post now.
Yes, 11a: Smetana = composer (def)
met - run into
San - hospital
a -area

I think the import here is "the composer (was) run into...." as in " the composer (was) met......"
One couldn't say " the composer was RAN into"
I may have this wrong...but that is my reading.

Hello, Elle!
Well done with the dog!
I have no idea why old videos are being shown, and they wonder why they get complaints?!!
Seems "live" now, though.
Miss ATW is around 3 hours from Dubai.
After that she flies to Singapore.
After that she flies to Adelaide (I think!)

Could you help JigJag out with his query earlier?
I think I agree with him/her, but I have no idea what a "past participle" is.

Lovely evening here!

Hello, Jazzgirl!
I am a "watcher"!
Seems to be a departure from the old format.
Never used to be linked to YouTube.
Glad it is up and running, anyway!

Hello rusty
Apparently there is a problem connecting the camera to the internet in any other way than via youtube .
Plenty of noisy birds being heard :)

Hello, Jazzgirl!
Oh, I did not know that!
Things must have changed from previous years.
Yes, it is a noisy site, with the birds all around.
That's Nature for you!

Ah ha!
Rangers have just Tweeted that the webcam is "live" and with sound!
Great!

.update ... it is also now live on their website

Hi, Rusty!
Goodness.......
It seems that every time that I disappear to attend to something else, there is another crisis over the webcam!
It is no wonder I am getting confused in trying to keep up with developments!
I've read on here that all is now well...the webcam is up and running live...yet I have just looked in on the nest...and found myself looking at a b&w picture again?
The same picture is also displayed when I click on the YouTube link?
So what really is happening?
Do you know?
I have answered Jigjig to the best of my ability way back.......I don't know whether or not he will find my response under all the bird talk........
I hope Miss ATW has lots of reading material - it is a very long flight!
The longest journeys I have made by air were to the Sudan, and later to the States.
I was terrified......I hate heights.
