6:55 - With Ding away, Darling gets Jack's food delivery all to him/herself!
7:26 - Ding lands on a snag "tree" to the left/back of the nest by the docks. A boat approaches & stops - maybe some photo ops? 😂

So what happened to Edie,did the fisher untangle him?

[@WingsOfWhimsy]

There's apparently been some contention over this topic. Edie DID return to the nest after this incident & was there for another day or two, but has since gone absent. Some are very concerned, while others are saying this is to be expected. I'm not entirely sure what to think about it all, honestly!
