First of all, the cam went down around 3:30 pm and we don't know why yet.
Second of all, the committed VC volunteer Les made sure to respond to concerns about EJ's mateless condition, that few birds have been seen of late, presumably because of the nasty spring weather in Western Europe recently. And, just to put his money where his mouth is, CRinger has his hat ready to be grilled and duly consumed at the same time applying to become a space astronaut if not a one male has had the sense to hook up with our Beautifulnessnessnessness EJ by May 1.
And a new BLOG was published on wait times between arrival dates on the Loch Garten nest.
I can't help but post a beautiful shot of EJ's underwing by Moffer yesterday._______________________________________The Daily Update thread is for recording nest events only—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread. Thank you!

The second, tiny, male might have been an optical illusion caused by stress ;)
Snaps for ID purposes:
This one's just for artistic purposes ;)
This is the nitty-gritty of everything that went on until the departure of the male:

Thank You SCYLLA for all your labours producing this video for us.
EDIT.... just watched it all to the very end SCYLLA. Hmmm EJ just chucked the rule book out, nookie with no fish, her hormones must have taken over awww.....
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Thank you, Mary :-* I know there are some longueurs in it, but there were a lot more in the live version ;)
EJ fish-calling, over-brightened!
I do appreciate that SCYLLA, could see your editing prowess in action, and know just how long and time consuming doing it takes. Good on ye :-) :-)
Well breakfast awaits, and out for the day. So enjoy your day SCYLLA and wish all a nice webcam watching day.
Good morning everyone. Any chance that this "new male" is Odin?

Great videos Scylla. EJ is certainly looking rather receptive to the "tiny male's" rather amateurish fumbling!

Doesn't look like Odin to me.
If he knows what's good for him, he will have gone fishing and arrive back with proper romancing-the-osprey decorum. He's got it all to play for :)

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Don't think that was Odin
