A quiet day yesterday after an early appearance by EJ... until the peace was shattered by (my interpretation) EJ's alarm-screaming as she chased an intruder with her fish. Or! What's your interpretation?
She then landed on the nest, flapping frantically for a few moments, then flew off with fish and we saw no more of her.

I would like to think that that meant we did have a second osprey at LG yesterday afternoon. Please, whoever's up there, send a more welcome visitor today ;)

According to me, the cam froze at about 21:50hr yesterday evening and the blue Carnyx screen appeared @ 22:01hr, and so it has stayed. I have emailed Carnyx.

Flown, up to the cam post:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Back again, before flying off:
She returned with a stick:
Now back to gazing into the distance.
On the nest, moving a stick. Ian
EJ is very busy with that big stick:
What wonderful captures, and such a beautiful day at LG today. EJ is looking very relaxed this morning, just keeping a watchful eye out for any intruders, be they friend or foe.

She's been on the nest for hours, apart from a couple of quick breaks.
EJ seems to be tidying up, rather than building her nest at the moment. I wonder why. Where are her usual soft furnishings.
10.20 she has flown off, over the back and to the right. A large bird subsequently appeared over on the left skyline. Was that her? Is she going fishing?
Yey, back with a chirrup and a twig!
Back, with a stick:
I wonder if she's worked out that the Osprey Centre is open? She's being very obliging today!
Gone again, and I need to be off as well. See you all later!
