Indeed, we have expecting company other than the white-tailed eagle that EJ successfully saw off. But instead of a Potential Prince, we had a female trying for the prime real estate. by Moffer
EJ saw her off. Scylla's videos here and here and here despite clutching a fish in her talons. Events begin with posts on this page with scylla's post.
Up to now, the ID is unknown except that it seems to be a female, and the left legged blue ring looks like it says 08. Hypotheses abound. Left legged blue rings are Scotland, while right legged blue rings are English or Welsh. And sometimes there are duplications, and not all rings are recorded to be shared publicly, as the system involves volunteers and is not strictly organized.
OH and I forgot that last night the pine marten took a toilet break on EJ's nest again. >:-( by Moffer_______________________________________The Daily Update thread is for recording nest events only—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread. Thank you!

EJ had a tiny potter, feaked, then went to her usual watch-point:
Per VLC:
Nice early morning picture grabs there ladies. :)
It looks quite picturesque, and looks like EJ just takes whatever weather is thrown at her in her stride.
Oy, i had to do a deep search to enlighten myself about the word “feaking” :)
I didnt see her do it, i saw her pecking on the snow, as if she was eating it in tiny bits. Now what doya call that?! ;)
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!
Another snowy day with EJ on the nest. Ian

She's sitting in her usual spot, with her face pretty much out of sight.
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 morning, all!
