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.

A few pics from me between 7.30 and when the cam went down
Worth the wait, Moffer! Even the one of her pooing.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Oh wow, Moffer, they are absolutely superb captures of her.

Thank you muchly. Clare was doing such a fab job this morning, that it was hard to find any pics that she didn't have. Thank you Clare for the amazing pics.
I've been getting on with jobs, but always with one ear listening.
I can actually see a number of shots I didn't get (besides the pooing!) - you've got stuff with her in flight, which are great!
There have been a couple of Crows/corvids flying behind the nest. No sign of EJ on cam.
I bet she's eating a fish somewhere. Hopefully in full view of the visitors.
Good afternoon, all - what a foto-fest EJ has supplied, thanks to everyone who took advantage :) I had to give up 'liking', so don't be offended ;)
I was wondering where you were up until the last page, MOFFER ;) Amazing shot of her fly-in !!!

I may or may not do a video of EJ's mega-stay - the long, just-looking-beautiful ones are the hardest to censor into a watchable length, I agonise ;)
I think EJ landed on the cam post with a chirp
Here she is :)
You lot still here???
