Yesterday was another marred by both cam and EJ outages :'(
A special Thank You to Alison Elder, on duty at LG, for allowing us to share her discouraging ;) info:
Our New Male has competition! (Snaps by BirdieNumNum, thank you!)
Defending in the evening...
...versus another unringed male, not seen well enough for any ID notes:

You got me there Scylla, I was searching for Part 2 LOL.... Thanks for all the work that goes into providing your videos for us. Going to look at Part 3 now. :-)
Morning Patily.
EDIT.... Oh its changed Scylla to part 2, don't confuse me, its a Sunday morning and we all know how hard that can be at times. LOL
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Someone is back.
I'm trying to do comparison shots to make sure we did have two different males. This looks like No2 Newer New now.
Ah Scylla great minds, I was thinking of looking back to, for comparison shots.
He was back, and flew up to the campost just now
Moving so a bit blurred:
.
Edit - I shall have to wait for MOFFER/SHEILA/BIRDIE/othersnappers for comparison pics :(
Newer New Male Part3 - to campost @ 06:25hr:
Part4 (new session) to come, and now a male is back again!
The stretch conversions are taking a very long time.
A tremendous thank you to all you guys (and girls) who are doing what to me are weird and wonderful things to produce the comparison shots to aid / confirm identification. Fantastic job!
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.
Very sorry, MARY, for getting the vids mistitled :( I could be missing one altogether now :-/
Lovely portrait, Alicat :)
Here is the latest visit:
I've got a feeling there's only been one male, but when he returned in an animated state, looking smaller, with a lighter-looking body and darker-looking head/eye markings, I jumped to the conclusion that it was the second male from yesterday, probably.
If anyone can do some comparison snaps that would be great. I'm signing off in an exhausted and frustrated state!
C'mon, EJ, please cheer us all up :-*
