The day or rather night started with EJ performing what became virtually an 'all night vigil' following her arrival on the nest late the previous evening in darkness after obviously sensing Pine Marten activity on the nest - the encounter brilliantly captured as usual by the amazing Scylla. She (EJ not Scylla), together with a rather unappetising tail of a fish, remained on the nest until just before dawn. The nest was mostly unoccupied during the day and we hope that the new day will bring us 2 Ospreys, preferably of different sexes and certainly 1 of them has to be EJ, getting to know each other. Hope springs eternal.
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.
You devil, CRinger ;-D Just as well I checked the thread list before finishing off yesterday's thread - I shall now add the link for you.
Seriously, tho - thank you for starting us off, it's a refreshing change from dear CC and dear me ;)

We had a weird flyover earlier:
It turned out to be this stick!
Thank goodness, CRinger! And thanks for the followup scylla! I have been quite irregular this season due to other commitments. All quiet on the fornt now, and the pesky stick seems to have gone over the edge.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Hiya, CC - you are always missed when you're not here ;)
The wind is strong enough to shift the sticks still:
Man, I hope the wind blows some solid mates EJ's way. Broke my heart to see her today...going to bed now.

DAYCAM 05:54hr:
No sign of EJ yet.
Good Morning Scylla and all who follow.
Thank You for starting us off Cringer.
It’s an empty nest at the moment. Will this be the day that EJ gets a fella to winch ;-)
