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.

Back on piste (or nest) now - EJ just been calling much more urgently - wonder if OC is around?
I thought I saw a FISH but...
IMAGICAT
So did EJ!
OC lands. EJ is checking for fish. He landed on her back with it. She has it.
FISH @ 07.51

He's arrived and I think he has fish! She gets it - great!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
FISH @ 0751hr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Landed on EJ's back-end with fish:
No really good view, lost in glitches:
Skydancing. OC responds.
Alarm calls from OC.
He has flown.
Now that EJ does not have eggs to protect and just say she doesn't like OC that much, would she then help a n other male to rid the nest and surrounding area of OC or do females always only interact in a battle with other females.
