Hello, Jazzgirl!
Yes, they have favourite branches on trees at the edge of the loch where they perch overnight.
Laddie spends a lot of time nearby, as he gets peace to eat his fish!
Just reread the Courier report and notice that they think today is Thursday!

Hello again, Jazzgirl,
Once the eggs are laid Lassie will rarely leave them, usually if Laddie is there to look after them.
Last year at Loch Garten there was a tragedy, when the male bird, Odin, disappeared, and the female, EJ, would not leave the chicks to catch fish.
The chicks died.
Some folk wanted the rangers to intervene and feed the chicks, but they would not, as this is what happens in the wild.

That is so sad, rusty, and nature can be cruel.

Some of my family in Adelaide, OZ are now interested in the Osprey webcam, but the internet is so very slow there. They say it is the slowest in the World. Texts and quick messages are rapidly received, but things like webcams are almost impossible to watch.

Hi, Rusty!
Ah, I was ahead of you with that one, Rusty!
I already had written the details briefly outlined on a piece of paper, in readiness to give to her son, should such an opportunity arise.......but the lady did not want to take it from me!
She simply said instead that she would send her son round to see us.
I had to accept that.
Thames Water have no contact details for him.... they were under the erroneous impression that the house still belonged to the previous ( now deceased) owner.
I put them right about that, and they said they were going to contact the Land Registry for an update on ownership.
That is the last that I heard of the matter.
Meanwhile we still wait...
Any word from Miss ATW?

Hi, Chris!
I've just noticed that you queried whether Laddie has a similar "Y" marking on his forehead.
No he doesn't , which is how we have always been able to tell them apart.

Hello, Elle!
No flies on you, eh!
Thames Water are bound to have the solution.
This will have happened before and they will know how to proceed.
The burden should not fall on you, is my humble opinion.
No word from Singapore1
Now, you watch "The Voice" and these singing shows, that I avoid.
I came across this clip from Sweden's Got Talent, and was quite impressed with this young man.
What do you think?

Oh Lordy Lordy!
Talk of Nature being cruel! One of my cats has just brought in a
very young mouse, and of course she and her daughter are now
playing as a team against the poor little baby mouse;
I've been trying to get in the game to, at least, knock out the poor
mouse, but this thing is so quick!
I think it will just get tired and give in.

er....... the 'she and her daughter' referred to my cat, not the mouse!

It's me again !

In case anyone is interested in Barn Owls, here is a link to
Dorset Wild Life Trust set up - The mother and father who
raised 5 baby owls last year have taken residence in the box
and one of them was in the box when I just looked.
Not sure when they lay eggs, but last year it was fascinating to
watch them hatch! Later they all were big balls of white fluff!

Hope it works
