EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
The night cam is on. 3J was on the nest perch but has just flown back to the nest - and has now flown back to the nest perch. Is the barn owl about?

Bit of a worry? She has been off the eggs for over half an hour.

ChrisyB, your post (plural 'eggs') caused me to rush to Dyfi live streaming. It does indeed look like there are 2 eggs on my screen but the time from the 1st egg laying to now is only about 37 hours, so I'm assuming it's some sort of optical illusion, or poor eyesight on my part....? In any event, the egg is home alone just now but Dyfi are saying this is OK, (although somewhat vulnerable to predation I'd have thought)
Thanks for all updates and pics. No one on the nest , looks like Blue3J is on the perch.
Just a few mins ago - struggling with a tough piece of skin.

2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
3J wants to get on the egg. Monty not keen to get up!
