Oddly, in an unexpected turn of events, we saw much of EJ's new beau, and he received attention from RSPB Facebook featuring him nicely posed, as well as on the BBC news as the latest mate for our venerable and inimitable and beautiful EJ. However, we did not see Her Beautifulnessnessnessness, per se. Having arrived to the nest 18 days after EJ, the young male (aka Arnie or Arnold) has busied himself with his specialty of licheny sticks for the nest and nestcupping (scylla's vid and Moffer's captures).
Where was EJ? Watching from one of her perches? Eating fish? Tune in tomorrow for another episode of LG's Lives of the Osprey!

It is a pity, but knowing how dedicated the techs have shown themselves to be, it is much easier to be patient. (oh dear oh dear)
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
We're back up! ENS at the moment:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Peter has just reset it and it is up but ENS.
Oh heck, due to prob with phone I hadn't noticed that the cam is back up!
