OK TMI!

So full body armour so that he doesn't get hurt by a talon or two?  What a wuss LOL 

Thank you for the BOT BL  ;)
Full body armour means motorcycle helmut and heavy leather jacket and sometimes (usually) leather gloves.  Don't blame him actually, he has to climb up a ladder to the nest box which is affixed to the wall about 30 feet above the top of the roof.  The "armour" means he only has to pay attention to staying on the ladder and extracting/replacing the chicks, not ducking the adults.  Unlike the roof of the Radisson, there are no guy wires or walls to slow the adults down any in mid-attack run ...

OK, so that makes sense.  I have the vision of the Radisson banding but know that the nest here is up out of the way of anything else so is not so readily accessible.  He would need to concentrate on getting up and down safely with chicks.  So, does he have a bucket that hangs from a belt to transport them down or does he do all the work up there by himself?

BOT ....

Dan from Conservation will be very visible to those of you joining us in Brandon on Thursday ... he will be the one up the ladder in full body armour. Don't know if anyone who is coming has kids (or grandkids) with walkie talkies, but if you do, snag them and I can give y'all a blow by blow description of what we are up to ...

OK, toe in the ground, head bowed, hands behind back, looking very sheepish, got my hand caught in the cookie jar.
