Yesterday EJ got fish, an intruder (blue-ringed?) got dispensed with... we think... for no bird was seen thereafter - because the cam went down @ 1306hr, not to recover until evening, whence the nest remained empty.
I missed Odin's piercing skydance (was out of the room, plus speaker low)... he landed to find no EJ waiting for him on the nest!
Excerpt:
As I type, Odin is back on the nest, I have yet to check what brought him here, if indeed it was an external stimulus.
IMAGICAT
Didn't see when she came back but she is shouting again, hope she didn't drop it. Maybe it was a tiddler, I couldn't see.
She wasn't there a few minutes ago and like you I couldn't see the fish because of the glare on the lens.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning, all. How nice to see EJ the Beautiful:
Even if she's now gone camera shy:
That's better:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
She has flown.
She's back:
She's getting stuck in to some nestorising.
Intruder alert - both birds on nest, mantling.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
She has been joined by His Gorgeousness:
He has flown:
EJ takes time to have a very quick preen:
Both back again:
