Yesterday's captures from MaryGK, BNN, on-the-spot reporter! (With thanks and hugs also to MaryGK!)
...plus we had reports from Fergus and from Nimrod at the VC! We hope to have the cam restored in time to witness the looming fledgings.

Thank you, CC :-) I was just going to do it, honest ;-) But now I'm off to sleep and have set recording going with the browser on 3-minute refreshes, so we shouldn't miss the cam coming back on but there will be gaps every 3 mins till I wake up ;-)

FORWARD HIDE UPDATE.
All is well. Two fish this morning. One,a 'tiddler' by Odins standards at 4 30am. Rowan ate virtually all of that one. A further larger one at 5 15am which EJ and the chicks are still eating from. Odin resting nearby.
Fingers crossed for a return to normality tomorrow.
I have extended our grateful thanks to the FH crew.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thanks MIKE
Morning Everyone
Thanks for starting the thread CC, I think those photos are Birdie's :-)
Thanks for the update from the FH Mike, good to know Odin has managed to bring fish in.
In case anyone has missed them, Birdie has updated yesterday's thread with her wonderful photos, luckily she got to see some helicoptering and Odin after I had left.

Good morning all. Thanks CC for starting the day, and to Mike for the morning report. I hope we get the cam back today. I'm getting withdrawl symptoms :0

Good afternoon guys, Fergus reporting from Loch Garten.
We have had a really busy morning with lots of visitors in today and finally got a chance to sit down and update you lovely folks!
Mike is in the know, Willrow has been well fed, and Willow has even been helicoptering with a half eaten fish in his talons (as if getting himself off the ground wasn't hard enough!). There was an intruder this morning too and Odin has remained vigilant even since, sitting on his low perch. EJ may have just gone off for a dip in Loch Mallachie and the chicks have been panting a little on the nest. It doesn't feel particularly hot today but the birds have been working hard!
Now for the less than good new. The camera part has been delivered but is not within the hands of our osprey staff. We are currently on the hunt for the adapter from Carnyx and should hopefully get the camera working tomorrow or later on today.
We have told Willow and Rowan not to take flight until the camera is fixed, we hope they will be obliging!

Thank you for the update Fergus. We hope that the boys listen, and don't fledge until we can see them.
Thank you Fergus. We do all very much appreciate you taking the time to keep us in the loop.

LOL, Fergus! Well done. Just hope they are listening, and not distracted by practising for the great day! Thank you so much for your report. So... another intruder, eh? Must be young, exploring, unattached birds in search of a nest. This one is not vacant!!!
