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:

Hmmmm. I think Scylla's last post on yesterday's thread with the great YouTube video is very suggestive of 2 males. I don't think either is ringed.
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.
Thank you both for this fascinating account.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thanks Sheila. How incredible that Blue XD's off spring - Blue DB(10) should visit! I couldn't make out the ID this morning but I wonder if it was her again?
And this morning's male, I have looked back and think the male at 6am and 8am were the same, "New man" or perhaps we should refer to him as "Paul" :-)
Great reporting Sheila, thank you.
All quiet on the nestern front now. Nothing seen or heard, since Newman left, on this bright and sunny morning.
I wonder how many verses of the song "the wheels on the bus go round and round" I can sing before this posts. It is painfully slow for me today :o((
Is there any news about the roaming cam yet?
Be nice to know/see what is going on around the nest.
Hi everyone ☺
Thanks for all the updates, pictures etc. Seems there. Was a bit of excitement earlier on. Trust me to miss all the action. ENS just now. We certainly miss the roaming cam.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.

Thank you, Sheila and Alison. What great news to find that she is BlueXD and GreenJ's daughter! It was said at the time that she resembled EJ. Lovely :)))

Not that I know of, Karen. Also, there's been no news on the restoration of the nestcam to 16:9 size :(
On the bright side, the cam's been better behaved today ;)
This time I'm definitely signing off for a while, SYAL!

I've been thinking that ;)
Definitely signing off now ;) ;) ;)

Karen I do know the answer, and I am putting a message together and will post later today.
