Yesterday was the DAY we have all been waiting for. EJ welcomed a strapping young male in the early morning hours (scylla's video), and they set about establishing practices of nookie, fish delivery, nestcupping, and stickifying. Especially endearing is this male's habit of posing for the camera, a trait we had come to identify with dear Odin. This may be the auspicious sign that he will prevail for EJ and for the nest. Here is the MAN OF THE HOUR as captured by Moffer and by Clare, respectively.Head shots for ID thoughtfully provided by BNN here.RSPB Facebook also reported in about EJ's new beau.

Thank you, CC :-* I would say that in lots of languages, to show sincerity, but am somewhat limited ;)
I'm going to be absent again for a while.

Thanks for beginning the new thread, CC. Ospreytastic start as always. ENS just now but it looks like a fairly calm night.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Black sky, only the generator for sound. Just going to check thru the night.
No wonder the sky is black - I thought my clock said 0550 when it was 0350 :-/
Nothing to report except that the cam went down for 5 minutes at 0310.
Thanks for keeping an eye on things, Scylla. Not sure how you’re able to keep the hours you do... espresso?! I myself am going to get some shut eye. Another exciting day tomorrow. ‘Nite!
Cam went down again - it will only refresh back up to the sound of the generator with a black screen :'(
Oh dear. One-minute refreshes from now on.
Cam back up.
Hi Scylla, Strange, almost as if something was standing in front of the satellite dish. Then the signal came back.
That could be the Highland 'Bigfoot' on walkabout Carnyx Wild :-D
