Bad weather may have deterred the birds from visiting the nest after the early-morning intrusions...
The first one, threatened only, EJ put up a spirited deterrence display, which worked temporarily:
^^^ My snap, cropped off the screen capture.
EJ stayed on the nest for a while looking forlorn, I thought, even from the back:
^^^ Moffer's VLC.
Then the unringed male managed to land but didn't stay long - that was almost the last we saw of ospreys for the day, but BIRDIE spotted UR pop in for a few moments only at 0810hr... somewhat charmless in comparison to our familiar, much-loved male resident :'(
.
The happiest image of the day, per Moffer:
We await developments with, for me, not a little dread tinged with faint hope.

BOPS, MIKE! Only just found it while recapping ;-*
Appropriately, I'm listening to thunder rumbles now.
It's getting lighter and the male cuckoo just started up.
Lovely birdsong, might be blackbird.

A dry, not ultra-bright day. Fine for fishing :)
The crows are up and about.
You'd think they'd give us the pleasure of their company on the nest, like they do at Dyfi - but I don't recall ever having seen them on the nest, have you?
Thank You Scylla for your continued observations.
It is the not knowing what happened to Odin that makes it worse, all the uncertainty, the heart is clutching at straws that we will see him back here again, but the head is telling me other, sadly.
I hope for a peaceful day for EJ today, but I doubt if that will happen.

You are right Scylla, I cannot remember seeing the crows actually land on the LG nest.
Funny, I haven't heard a crow since I typed that.
The little redstart was back again, it sat on the rim, had a look around, then flew.
