One week from Easter Sunday, and all of us are anxiously awaiting EJ finding a lucky guy that lives up to her (and our) standards. At least, we now have the cam back, though we have not seen EJ since the cam has been back up. We can only trust she is nearby the nest (perhaps on the branch below) keeping intruders and curious pine martens at bay. At present a light wind ruffles the grasses on the nest.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Andrea, I'm sorry if I offended you, I was trying to find out how to help make new people feel welcome and more aware of where to ask questions, so I don't know why you would be making your last post. I thought you would be the perfect person to ask as you had stated how you felt.
Anyway I take back my suggestion.

If you don't mind me saying so CC, I would say yes, a bit too long. Something short and to the point.
Please comment on today's happenings only - any questions or comments post on the Osprey Chat Thread. Or something along those lines. This will still only be read if the poster reads from the start of the day.
That is, if it is felt that something should be written in the first place.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You've said nothing offensive, Starling.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Okay, so if we just start with this idea at the beginning of each DU, I am happy to hear Andrea feels it would help. I like Catlady's suggestions and am open to others.

Well because of what Andrea said maybe it should be something like
The Daily Update is for recording nest events only, if you have any questions, please ask them on the Osprey Chat Thread.
As Andrea is correct new people won't know what DU means.
Now, regarding titling, we could ALSO do something like the below. What do you think?
DAILY UPDATE Obs Only ~ Loch Garten nest ~ Sunday, 25 March 2018

Yes CC I think that one is good, or maybe the Title change would work, see what others think.
Thanks, Starling. I don't see why we couldn't do both. We can always try it and see how well it works. Then we can refine it or change it to be just one place, as we go along, within reason.
Thinking about this, maybe for our new friends, to just have DU Obs only, may still confuse them, they may not know what Obs meant. Maybe still have the same starting title, as we have always had and a small comment as has been mentioned.
