Unfortunately, since the cam was left on the side view (with no IR), there is a black screen accompanied by the sound of rain at the nest.
EJ was seen on the nest in the misty morning, and later eating fish in the Love Tree. In her absence, a Willow Warbler sang a serenade on the nest [scylla's video] and then a quick eye on the roving cam caught a redstart just under the nest. It's reassuring to see EJ on her nest so we know she hasn't been lured away to another site in the meantime. Hope we get a glimpse of her tomorrow. Thanks to all who have posted her whereabouts yesterday. Here's a lovely shot of EJ leaving the Love Tree.

EJ back on the nest.
(Good morning all.)
EDIT - initial playback shows big intruder alerts this morning, but no intruder seen.

Good morning all. Osprey on nest atm, but I've cannot say for sure that it is EJ. Too blurred and too far! SCYLLA - I bow down to you! If you say it's EJ then it is EJ! I would like to thank all who post on here, regularly or otherwise, for your posts, pictures & videos. Those of us who work depend on it! And very much appreciate it. Off to work :(

It is EJ Stingray.
Before her current visit (which goes on and on with little activity) EJ was on the nest for a very long time in two sessions, with intruder alerts.
0635-0719hr, ending in a screaming fly-off from the campost, where she had stood preening but with one long, still spell so that I thought the cam had frozen.
0744-0746hr, she arrived to defend, vocalising and mantling, then flew off to our right.
5m18s
Flyoff:
Now she's flown up to the campost... and back down to the nest with a couple of intrudery chirps.
Funny... although she's a blurry figure one can visualise exactly how she looks close-up: slightly hunched, head up a bit and on one side, lookin' here 'n there :)
What a shame the cam is a little too low, and out of focus. Lovely to see EJ on the nest. I'm going to be less than useless today as I have a banging headache and blurry vision. Think it's a migraine starting.
EJ just flew off but has returned to the cam post.
8.59 She silently flew.

Up to campost, pleasant little chirp, wing-flexing.

I've been seething on those two counts, the first especially ;)

That's what's kept me away, with other strange symptoms but not the blurred vision. Mine's lingering but not too bad now, I hope yours doesn't blow up into a migraine, Moffer :(
Moffer. Hopefully the LG camera will be sorted soon. LG informed.
