Richard, I just took a look at the other camera it seems quite a bit clearer.

Picture that I took this morning.
(had to go out then)

9:58a.m.



1:47p.m. eaglet moving around - what big feet it's getting.

The new Cam looks as though it will be better!
I couldn't try it - by the time I tried the lnk, it said disconnected!!

I'm sorry I missed the excitement this morning! The new camera promises to give a pretty good view, especially as the eaglet gets bigger and uses more of the nest. It's obvious he's much bigger than the current view suggests.

If you are reading this, Richard, please let Lafarge know we understand perfectly about the microphone and are happy to wait until one can be placed in the nest for next season, Given that the location is a "men at work" zone, what we might hear with a mic outside the nest could well be NOT what we want a general audience to be exposed to. I think it's for the best all 'round.

I also favour trying to see if we can run both cameras, but have a hunch that if we can only have 1 we will want it to be the new one.


2:49PM
There is an adult on the nest at about 1oclock (feet in view only)
laflet is mid nest and must be sprawled out resting, because I can see his foot once in a while when the leave are out of the way.

3:22PM
laf'let is in the bowl area.
if there is an adult on the nest I can't see any sign of it

lots of deep shadows at the moment as the leaves are not blowing around very much

3:25PM laf'let is moving around a bit and making use of his wings for balance

3:44PM
adult definitely on the nest now at 12-1oclock

adult moving around the nest with a stick 12-9-6-3
I don't know where it ended up near 2-3 it would seem

3:48PM
adult now moving from 12-3 still working with the stick

4:17PM Laf'let and parent are chilllin' in the nest, enjoying the pleasant weather

5:07PM
laflet and adult still on the nest. leaves make it impossible to see any activity


5:41PM
the wind is calmer and there is a better view of the nest, but no activity. Adult sitting at 9oclock, laflet snoozing in the bowl.







5:46PM
Adult off the nest (while I was doing the s'cap above!)

6:06pm

laf'let is stil alone, moving around a little bit and preening now and then



6:13PM
lafletis up at the 12oclock spot and I can now see an adult's foot there

I am guessing it's a feeding but I can't be 100% sure.

(I hope we get the other view sooner rather than later!)
