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
Sounds as tho we're in for some "weather".
Alarm chirps.
I can hear Osprey chirps...alarm???

Hi Les I went to Loch Garten last Sat, we were driving from West Yorkshire to Poolwe and diverted as I had become a web cam addict. When we left home Fri afternoon all Odin had disappeared so on Sat it was all doom and gloom and the staff were very upset and to be honest it spoilt my hols a bit - I find it hard now to watch the web cam or use my new China osprwy mug But lovely caring staff
Someone flew to the lower nest tree branch prior to chirps. I wish we could see whose down there. I suspect EJ with a fish.
(Tried to get a pic, but it's too blurred)
Edit, best I can get at distance and speed
I've been expecting it to tip down with rain, but it's just nastily windy still.
EJ screaming, alarm chirping - surely she'll come to nest, she can't be far off :-/
That sounded like another bird, maybe the UR.
