EJ appeared only once yesterday at the nest, in the early morning before disappearing. Then came a happy surprise when Moffer discovered that EJ had been photographed by Douglas McVittie, fishing at Aviemore, carrying one of her EJ whoppers! In the meantime, no one else laid claim to the nest. Though the roving camera regularly checked all of the usual perches during the day, and an osprey was spotted in the distance, she herself was not located. So we wait to see what new developments await us today, including FC8 or Double Trouble. And... hopefully, someone will eventually find out about the various ringed osprey that have shown themselves on EJ's territory.

An eventful start to the day MC.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning, MIKE! Glad to see you this busy morning :-*
EJ has been and gone again while I've been otherwise engaged.
Good Morning all
Good Morning CC, Scylla, Mike, Patily
Nice start off CC.
WOW Scylla - EJ has been keeping you busy this morning.
Taken me ages reading all your posts and watching the videos :-)
So PU has been making a few attempts at mating. Where's the fish EJ says! :-)

That would seal the deal, I should think. Fancy EJ seeming so keen?! - she has such a spring in her step.

I bet it has Scylla, I know how much effort it is to do a video, and you are doing multiples every day, so I take my hat off to you (if I was wearing one)
At least we know that PU has brought a fish to the nest previously and was scared off when EJ made a lunge for it, so hopefully he will bring another. It is just a pity that the Odin look alike CF8 hadn't brought a fish for EJ. Makes me think he is young and doesn't know how to court a great lady like oor EJ. LOL...

In view of your years of experience on this site, as mentioned elsewhere, maybe we could have the "Mary, MC and Patily" guide to courtship for Male Ospreys!! LOL
