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!

Morning Scylla! Wow, see I've missed the daybreak action, wonder who this male is that she was immediately so receptive?

He must still be very close as she is making her food soliciting calls. Excellent news! - if he is unattached!
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.
Good Morning Scylla, Choco and all who follow
Thank you CC for your comprehensive start to the day.
Thank You SCYLLA for your overnight reports, without your unending dedication we would never have known about EJs amourous visitor.
She was in her usual look out position the last I looked.
Edit and Cringer too :-)
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
I'm struggling with this recalcitrant editor...
But I think we've had a second, tiny, male come in and attempt to mate !!!
I'm having to save individual clips or they're getting lost :'( It will all be here, by hook or by crook!
IMAGICAT
It's 50% converted and not crashed yet... but CPU is 90-100% :'(
It just crashed !!!
Look forward to seeing it SCYLLA.
Its a pity the camera had not een set just a few more centimetres to the right, then we would have got a better view of EJ at her look out post :-)
She was still there looking all around when I started this post :-)
Oh no SCYLLA, I hope you have not lost all your clips of it,
Good Morning all Am so pleased to be here Yesterday afternoon neither of my computers would work and then everytime I log on now I have to sign in and I always get Invalid Credentials at first....but now I am in and rewarded with a view of "our" queen and news of one or even two male visitors Thanks for that SCYLLA
She has been very quiet for the last 20+ minutes. If he has 'read the books' he will be away fishing for her. Shame not many Ospreys seem to have read Poole's book about what he is supposed to do. Time will tell if he conforms to what is expected of him.
