Respect!

Apparently, only "OutdoorsMEN" need fear them bears! (Took me a minute, but the bit about the bells in the pooh??? Splendid!!) Whatever about men and bells, you won't find me there!

Is Baerbel still around?

Hey, Ezsha! I was thinking that myself re the "Eastern Hemisphere". Where are you? And anyone else on this side of the Pond? Fascinating that we have watchers from far and wide...

Looks like lots of us are waking up today to the terrific news of a second egg. Yaaaaay! (Then again, it appears that some watchers have never been to sleep - how DO they do that?!)

Keep watching??! I AM UNDONE!!

Haha, Donna! Those Crafty Critters nearly had me! As I am here (again... still!) - another question. Since both A&B are sitting, does this mean egg-laying is over and they are incubating? If they are, it might be no bad thing if they don't have loads a kids this year... Yes? No? Maybe so??

So I post a grateful Thanks to Donna for the ID tips... then I go back to the Main Cam - and I say to myself: "Jeeeez! Thought I had it sorted... but I don't see that white spot now... or a white cere! I am rubbish!" But then I go BACK to the Forum... and woo-hoo! It is Beauty in the box! Maybe I AM getting there...

Thank you, "Donna-Who-Never-Sleeps"! I think even I can now recognise the diagnostic markings.

Having finally come to terms with IDing M&K, I must begin again with B&A - and hints for this? I can ID them when shown together, but not when going solo... Ta!

Nearly 0600 on a chilly ROC morning - and someone is back in the box... Not sure EGGS-actly who it is but if I were that wee egg, I would want someone toasty sitting on top of me! Brrrrrr!

Thanks, Everyone.

BTW - I just sent Donna this link with the BBC's "Springwatch" website. They are stingy about their videos (who knows!) - but there is always something to learn...

You know, I thought my eyes were deceiving me - both today (Friday 9th) and yesterday?? Archer DID have food, huh? Any comments re this behaviour from the EGGS-perts???

I may not be doing this New Topic correctly... and if it is too political, do forgive! This link is for Defenders of Wildlife.

EDIT: I moved this to its own topic in General Nature Discussion. -Shaky

The image right now - ROC @ 0615/multicam - is so eerie! If I had figured out how to start a new topic, I would have called it "Thinking Outside the Box".
