You see, yesterday our subject gave every impression of being ill. It did not come in to the nest and it communicated this fact to its colleagues. And we were willing to believe it. This creature may be a master of deception and subterfuge but we were willing to believe its story just this once.
So, imagine our surprise when, today, having assumed the Gregory is unwell again, we were asked by another observer just where precisely the Gregory is right now? You see, this particular observer, shares the same home as our subject so, surely, if he was indeed ill today, he would be there convalescing.
The plot thickens mightily.

The Gregory Survives, but for how much longer?
The subject was last observed by one of our observers shortly after lunch-time. It is now 4pm and we suspect that the "coffee" it went for with some of its social group has metamorphosed into a "day off." We at Greg-Watch understand that out subject finds life in the nest fairly stressful, although it is adept at concealing such weakness from predators. At present, he is simply adept at being somewhere else.
Attempts have been made at locating the subject using microwave tracking systems but to no avail. It would seem that he definitely does not want to be found. Of course, we will relocate him one day, but will we get there first?

This May Be Our Last Sighting
We here at Greg-Watch are currently very fearful for the safety of our subject. He was last seen exiting stage-left pursued by Supervisor. These near-apex predators are renowned for their ability to reduce even the hardiest species to gibbering wrecks. As such, they are fearless and we must take care not to disturb them during the course of our observations.
Whether the lesser-spotted Gregory survives his encounter with the Supervisor remains to be seen. We are, of course, hopeful that he will evade capture once again so that we may continue to live in awe of this majestic, if extremely transient, creature.

Just Where is He?
We were quite certain that our subject was supposed to be busy this afternoon but we can see no sign of him. All that we can observe from our secluded location is some token evidence (pens, papers etc.) presumably intended to suggest his presence where none exists.
Day by day we expand our knowledge of the myriad behaviours of the lesser-spotted Gregory. We had not thought it capable of subterfuge and yet, once again, we are surprised.
What wonders will he reveal to us in the coming days and weeks?
Assuming we see him, of course.
