Much more to-ing and fro-ing from EJ on the nest yesterday, stickifying and searching the skies for her Potential Prince (cue the music Limpy thoughtfully provided for her). Maybe as more osprey move north, the possibilities will increase. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully she is snoozing watchfully near the nest until the morning arrives and she can greet the Breakfast Club._______________________________________The Daily Update thread is for recording nest events only—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread. Thank you!

New DU for Tuesday, 03 April 2018

All this about ringing is really interesting but should we not take it to the Osprey Chat Thread as all our chat makes more work for Birdie writing up her summaries.

Karen, I am aware that I am a relatively new poster to the various forums & may well get slaughtered for this post but I will ask a polite question with a suggestion which will hopefully be seen as constructive.
Does your comment also apply to multiple copies of often essentially the same photographs and should there not be threads dedicated just to photographs?
There was a discussion last week, which got a bit heated, that the DU should be easily navigated so that people can quickly & easily find out what has been happening once the action starts (like today). I appreciate that the discussion around ringing does not comply with that stated aim of quick & easy navigation, but I would humbly suggest that multiple/duplicated photographs also do not comply with that aim.
Answers on a postcard. Ian

Ian, No, you will not be slaughtered, certainly not by me, for you are entitled to your opinion :-)
The comment is not "mine". I merely copied it from the opening post of the DU which after some discussion was decided to be added each day to highlight the purpose of this thread was for nest activity reports. We were digressing and ringing is interesting and a good one for chat which would be a shame to be lost within nest reports, so by suggesting taking it over to chat, I thought I was being helpful :-)
About photographs - perhaps one for further discussion by the DU?
Ignorantia juris non excusat, so I accept mea culpa and apologise for musing about leg rings in this thread yesterday. It might be an idea for regular contributors who have excellent IT skills to remind new / returning contributors that there is a more appropriate thread in which to post and provide a link to same if this happens again - which I am sure it will. I am still trying to get the hang of replying to the correct post and then pressing the right quote button, so a link would be extremely useful.

Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
I'll have to look at this when the morning calms down, CRinger, as I can't take it in now.
