I am doing the introduction in haste since I am on the run, so please help to follow up on whatever I am missing.
The last we saw of EJ was defending the nest against at least one of two osprey who were around. One landed on the nest, looked unringed (conjectured to be possibly PU), but also another unseen osprey that raised EJ's hackles to another level. [video from scylla] Most likely that was a female. No one was ID'd and we are left to guessing. We (via Mike the Bloke) received an "inside report" that an unringed male and Blue Ringed female were about earlier, chased off by EJ. Could this be the same couple?
Regardless of the unresolved nature of this conundrum, at least we caught great views of EJ on a very drippy miserable day. Maybe Catlady will b ring some light upon the subject and the day tomorrow during her visit!

Good morning MC and CC. EJ looking wet.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning Mike. Yes, she's dripping, and has been sitting there on guard for most of an hour. I've got to get to bed now. I'll be back for developments.
Sleep well. SYL
Flown!

Second visit, arrived with a short stick, spent over an hour on the nest mostly looking out from the back/side.

Good Morning ALL who follow.
Empty nest in a misty morning.
I am still getting some empty small squares where photos should be, is everyone else getting that or is it just me. ?????

Good morning, MIKE, and good morning MARY :-* ... when you eventually post I shan't be here, it's packing up time for me now.
Obviously there are still would-be squatters around but none have been bold this morning, yet!
Byeeeee.
Good Morning all
Morning Patily and Mike
Still an empty nest
