Well not unexpectedly the season came to an end on Saturday morning when the intruding male broke the final egg.
As EJ is still in brooding mode she is still spending a lot of time on the nest brooding non existent eggs.
It now remains to be seen what will happen next. A variety of things could happen but as always with ospreys they will usually surprise us.
I guess the only way to find out is to keep watching.

I can't imagine how terrible it must be for the VC staff. Having to remain cheerfull, I couldn't have yesterday. I was at a very low ebb.

I'm very pleased to see you posting today, Moffer - I was worried that some of the things said yesterday were deliberately calculated to cause maximum hurt.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thank you Clare :)
It's a busy Sunday for me (as usual) but I'll try to keep up this morning. I am going out with the grandchildren this afternoon, but I'll be back after to catch up.
EJ is back. Looks like she's had a bath. I think she's on the cam post now.
EJ is back.
I'm watching and listening to Tore and Bynack - the latter being loudest and longest, of course :-*

She's back:
She is looking much better than she did:
She has flown again.

Warmest salutations to you all.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
And to you, CRinger. How are you today?
I think that we are going to have to get used to ENS :( For anyone that is new here, that means Empty Nest Syndrome.
Good morning everyone, thank you for the updates, very sad to log on to see an empty nest :(
