No sign of a suitor yet - of any degree of suitability, let alone of the standard we expect for EJ. Many of us have still not written off Odin the Magnificent. We can only wait.
Yesterday EJ went thru an animated, busy phase, bringing 3 sticks to the nest. Here she was, Persil white and woodland brown, absolutely gorgeous:

There's a short video of her ins 'n outs with sticks 'n chirps HERE.
We're still waiting for the first fish on the nest.

I have just this second disinterred myself from doing that video, Moffer ;) You wouldn't believe how long it's taken me and I've chopped out nearly all of her activities, such as they were... As for snaps, some of them you've duplicated (haha, see what I did there?).
Some unseen mini-micro-events here:
These may well be in the wrong order, as I got in a muddle and cannot tell now, as they're all in the same second :-/ EDIT - Oh no they're not, so maybe this is the right order :)
And this one's from earlier, can't remember why it was necessary - maybe experimenting with colour settings?
Kitchen time.
Super vid and pics, Scylla. Thank you

It's very good of you to spend so much time Scylla making these videos, thanks. Great, as I've seen so little of EJ 'live'. She looks very perky.

The first of which belongs in front of the evening video - I knew something was wrong! - which I haven't started yet!
YouTube is chopping off the first flyby.
My cam keeps going down - we may miss the Pine Marten doing something different ;)

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good evening my fellow Ospreyholics
Many thanks for all the Ospreytastic pictures and videos of EJ The Phenomenal. I'll never tire of saying what a beautiful Osprey she is. ENS just now. Seems quite breezy.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Back after a LOOOOONG day. Phew. Thanks for all the gorgeous shots and vids and commentary. That will be the second night in a row that the pine marten has soiled the nest. Stinker.

Scylla - if he decides to do somersaults on the nest, I am sure you will be poised with the recording finger at the ready LOL....
Great looking at your videos of EJ, cannot get enough of her, I have been out most of the day so was a treat to come back and see the video of her pottering.
