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!

Oh my goodness, what an amazing start to the day. Thank goodness Peter sorted out the camera for us. Many thanks Peter.
Must check out Birdie's page with last year's intruders and compare. By gum, he is a confident male!! He certainly has shown his credentials so far - the bringer of fish and stick, and keen to mate :) Thank you Scylla for so painstakingly uploading the vids, and others for the amazing pics. Back to check out the posts properly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Morning All - thanks for all the updates and captures.
Excellent news - Both back and a mating!
this was a few minutes ago - I was in the midst of posting when my door bell went!!!
Woo Hoo!
He flew, followed by EJ a couple of minutes later. He is now back again:
He's gone again.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
My cam is down again.

My cam is down as well.
