A very happy Fourth of July to our American friends, particularly to our Special Friend, CC :-*
(And CC is going to alter the date of yesterday's DU, when she gets around to it ;) )
Yesterday was marked by a lot of attention to EJ from (we think) unringed male PU. If only (we think) he would bring her a fish, he could seal the deal.

No sign of FC8, whom some of us have a very soft spot for, for days. And no news on his ID.

First, a huge thank you to Scylla for brilliantly interpreting what to me is a weird pale mis-shapen dog with a round head, surrounded by tones of green and grey blobs.
Happy 4 July to CC and our American friends. I hope Clare has a fun and interesting time in Scotland - will she be able to fit in LG or LotL or Loch Arkaig in her itinerary? Thank you Mike for the latest on the photos/pics. I hope the odd extras that appear when I copy and paste will also be resolved.
I thought I heard/saw a flap of an osprey landing, but I can't make out whether anyone actually landed

I am sure there must be someone on the nest from the sound. Ah yes I can see movement - a pale blob to the right of the 'dog's' head!!
and it may well have just flown!!
Brief skydance?? rather than intruder call
An osprey flew from the back of the nest, over it and away. Presumably not EJ, who surely would have landed?
Someone has landed, and much flapping. Settled now, unless it dropped over the back of the nest!
Hi Sheila, I know Clare has been to Bass rock and I am sure LG will get a visit, I have also so told Clare where to find Loch Inch and how to get there.

EJ on the nest
Hello Limpy! It sounds as though she is having a grand tour of Scotland!
I really can't tell whether anyone/thing is on the nest now at all. It's a good thing the VC will be opening anytime soon! I have Carnyx and VLC open in the hope that one will keep going, but at the mo I have black VLC screen - needs another refresh!
We are back
Thanks LG
