It is a huge privilege to start this new thread, especially after a day like yesterday.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother, father, all ospreys worldwide and Tiger for drawing in his claws and stepping back.
I wish us all a less confused day of watching and attempting to interpret, and EJ and Odin the very best luck in the world in their defence of the most famous Osprey nest in the world.
Greetings all fellow 'midnighters'.
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.
More alarm calling off cam

I can hear alarm calling
Hello, Clare. I am sure EJ is stimulated to call for fish when she sees one paraded in front of her, whether or not she is hungry!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Hi OG hope you are well. EJ did not go to fish for herself on the egg kicking days she sat in a tree watching the goings on. Only the Webcam viewers decided she had gone fishing. It is back to the point I made the other day. We have no idea what is happening when out of cam view and we make many mistaken assumptions which then worries other viewers. We actually see very little of a very big picture. If only we could be on constant holidays at LG.
If anyone's interested, I've just put a query on the new Q&A page about EJ's current behaviour, compared to a few days ago.
EJ has gone quit now. Fish must have gone :(
Thanks for the info, LMAC. I was actually away from home Thursday through Sat, so missed the action myself. I am still hoping for Jen to update her blog for all of us to have the same info! But, that said, I am sure there is always one of our number visiting the nest at any given time; a pity we don't get updates when they are able to get a signal - there are some good spots in the area if you try!
There's a new blog from Jen!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
New BLOG. Off to read it, then I have to go.
I'm more confused than ever now??? SYL.
