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.
IMAGICAT
Or is she calling someone?
That sounded like calling then :o
:-/
I can't wait any longer for you, EJ, we'll have to have an unresolved video ;)
You should be able to see a crow fly right-to-left as EJ flies in.

Still watchful:
I have to pack up now. I won't shut down the watching screen, just in case, but will not be able to do running commentary :)
See y'all later :)
Big flaps and squeals and chirps.
Flown on off squeal-screaming... !!!
Shows how tired I am - how can anyone type on for off?!
Whoever could have provoked this reaction?!

Glad to see you, MOFFER :) I hope you had a treat yesterday evening :)
I'll pack up more reassured now ;)
Just hope this isn't a bid to steal the nest, Mary ;). Never underestimate the cunning of a small passerine lol.
