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 think if a male she liked the look of better arrived she would certainly help him see off OC. When Odin returned in 2012 she was very quick to chase off Blue XD, and he had made far more headway with her than OC has.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Yes but she stayed on the nest as I was at the centre when Odin arrived in. She drew blood on XD and then he and odin disappeared for a number of hours. She did not leave the nest at any point to help or take to the skies.
Currently she has no provider so is essentially a single female with no attachment to any bird. Odin was a known quantity to her so she was aware of it being his battle
