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!

Great to have our lovely picture back (thanks to all concerned). Shame it looks rather bleak - if picturesque at LG. ENS at present. Thanks for the flyaway pics Moffer.
Sorry VLC is not co-operating, Moffer - but you've still produced some lovely wings without massive blurs ;)

What picture are you talking about, Rusty? I mean, what site are you watching on? We're only seeing the correct display on the Carnyx.tv site, nowhere else.
I have to go out now. SYL's
I am currently on Carnyx Wild via the RSPB site Scylla. I occasionally use VLC.
Just popped to see ENS. I wonder if EJ has gone fishing?

I wouldn't know how to find it even, but I know what you mean. That will be the same as the Carnyx.tv site, but I can't use it for recording because it's click-to-play.
EJ (I think) did visit several minutes ago, very briefly, but I don't have it because I'd mis-clicked the recorder and it was OFF >:(
Have rebooted, then my browser updated itself and is, fingers crossed, behaving better now.
I've had enough, what with one thing and another, so am going to pack up and sleep. Very best wishes for a good day, for EJ and all of you. SYAL xxx
And I hope you're having a great holiday, MIKE !!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone, can I just ask is LG going to be doing anything to stop the PM from getting up to the nest as I’m sure I saw at another nest they had put a big ring thing round the middle of the tree, less stress for our beautiful EJ when the eggs/ chicks arrive surely
BIRDIE NUM NUM - Can I ask a question. When I click on Carnyx web cam I see under Detail - Community - Daily Summary. If I click only see archive from 2017 May and June and July and August. These are fantastic so ask re you posting a Daily Summary for 2018 and if so how do I get there. Sorry to use this page as opposed to Technical Queries but wanted to ask you direct as author. Again this a Fantastic Herculean Summary.

Hi Jayne. From memory, the pine martin is a regular feature and I don't think LG have done anything to deter its presence. As far as I recall, it keeps well clear when EJ is around and she sits on the eggs and is then with the chicks once they hatch pretty much 24/7. And then they grow to a pine martin intimidating size.....And if she can see off a sea eagle, the pine martin is a doddle. But others may have a view and there may be a case where a PM has taken an egg/chick from under the nose/breast of a osprey. The knowledge of some posters here is pretty phenomenal so let's wait and see if anyone else responds
