March went out like a lion, how will April start?
Well, pretending this was post-midnight when it was actually yesterday evening, April starts a bit ignominiously, actually.
Listen...

Monty big fish
Tiger's Osprey News
Monty (from the dark eyes) with his flounder. I think he can only just have started to eat it.

A little while ago Monty had a poop and then mantled at someone, but not for long.
I bet Blue 24 is still around. Second thoughts, would he mantle for her? Perhaps he was merely guarding his fish!
Now Glesni is mantling on the nest
An intruder call off camera
Monty flies off to defend
Glesni and Monty on the nest
Monty has flown off, there was a clatter, perhaps he is on campost.
Glesni is alone on the nest, alert but not mantling. More relaxed she flapped herself to the rim of the nest.
Both back on nest and Glesni Odin Monty mantling.
13.18 Glesni is yelling for a fish. Monty is on the T perch beyond and below the nest.
13.20 after yelling Monty has arrived to mate! He has flown off. Is that what she wanted, and not a fish after all!! She is now quiet!!
No sign of Monty or Glesni
Glesni finished a fish @ 1600hr:
She and Monty spent some time together:
Glesni returned to do a little nestcup sorting:
Then she flew "up":
1914hr she was back on the nest:
After nearly an hour she was joined by Monty:
And they ended up on the perch together, I think they are still there:
