linth, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I feel as if I've been dropped into heaven. I can't believe I am in such a privileged position. I won't be able to get down there tomorrow but may be able to on my way to work on Tuesday. I'm longing to see what the little chick looks like now.

Nanny, sorry this response is a bit late. The incredible gentleness of this big bird with the over sized talons picking her way gently towards the chick and then feeding it tiny bits of fish with that great big beak over a period of about half an hour is an honour to watch.

This shot is from a week ago, but in the absence of anything really new, thought another one of the Willie Wagtail driving poor Dad crazy might be amusing.
