The nest now with EJ asleep and the nest quiet. Will tomorrow bring another egg?© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild
Yesterday began with an intruder trying to mate with EJ [video by scylla] and a handsome suitor bringing a large fish for EJ but she told him off and he left. Then Odin hauled a half fish around while defending the nest so it wasn't until later that EJ managed to get a bite. However, the day progressed to a more routine domestic scene complete with mating, and head-trodding and stick deliveries on top of EJ. Odin seemed in a frenzy of building up the nest to the point of burying poor EJ. A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.... ;-*

Thank you, CC :-*
I haven't caught up yet - my internet has been down 11 times since 0100hr, I kid you not, I've been jotting it down.
Quiet at the mo. Off I go to finish yesterday. I hope. If you don't see me, you'll know why :'(
IMAGICAT
EJ is up, not sure why.
EDIT
She chucked out of the way a small stick:
Had a flap:
Siince when she's just stood standing, occasionally fidgeting:
Back to egg 0430hr.
Nicely settled presently:
Good Morning Scylla and ALL when you get here.
Thank You for starting us off CC and for the mini summary it is very useful when catching up.
Thank You Scylla for your overnight reports also.
EJ looks lovely in this light.... :-)

I did see your post Scylla :-)
scylla said: Think I will give up taking captures Don't do that, MARY! But I do understand how you feel, and I cannot understand what has gone wrong, why we don't have the "VC quality" cam which was predicted... I wish I'd bookmarked that post from Carnyx. [/quote] Well it is very hard to resist taking captures of the lovely EJ and Odin T.M. Scylla so I doubt if I would last a season not taking them :-) What I don't understand and have to say disappointed in is how did the webcam go from this on the first day it started up To this Anyway I won't say any more on the subject :-) I do appreciated having a cam to watch EJ and Odin on, but it is disappointing after seeing how it was on start up that is all I am saying :-) surely others must feel the same. However having said that Moffer and others seem to have set up their system by using VLC to capture clearer pics, so the mind boggles lol.... EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023

Don't do that, MARY! But I do understand how you feel, and I cannot understand what has gone wrong, why we don't have the "VC quality" cam which was predicted... I wish I'd bookmarked that post from Carnyx.

Very quick flyabout, returned softly tweeing a few times. Not yet settled down.
i posted videos on the end of yesterday - Odin treading on EJ's head, the big clump, something else (short-term memory is SHOT!)... oh yes, the disturbance reported by Dyfi.

MOFFER has been very clever changing the settings in her VLC to give us super-duper quality most of the time - however even her captures are stark and "liney" at certain times of the day.
Like SHEILA, I find that VLC keeps freezing so I've given up using it as backup. To be successful, you need to be focusing on it and reopening the stream as necessary - which Moffer does, so we're lucky, and I simply cannot - too many commitments.
You are not alone, dear Mary :-*
PS - I didn't see you before as I've been catching up on yesterday and posting Glaslyn arrivals. Good morning!!!
