Yesterday our day started with confused reporting (by whom, I wonder? ;) ) of "new new" males on the nest.
See BirdieNumNum's analysis posted late last night - as we had all concluded, eventually, it was just our regular New Male looking different in various lights and at various angles.
A female landed! See Moffer's snaps. There's a video below them if you've got time. Speculation ensued as to whether it could have been CT6 :o
Talking of females, Sheila updated us with some fascinating and welcome info about "08" - it turns out that 08 was DB - probably BlueDB(10), who is none other than a daughter of BlueXD and GreenJ. And she looks so like EJ :)
Isn't wasn't until evening, tho, that the main event of the day occurred:
EJ landed !!! ... announced by Moffer with Hello Sweetie ;)
She was very alert to unwelcome company in the area, and soon after the first visit she returned to defend ~vs~ an unseen intruder and was pursued as she flew off. Needless to say, she looked absolutely gorgeous !!!
Videos.

Male on nest defending with FISH.

Thanks Scylla and so interesting.
Birdie recorded Newman flying off at 10:39 and now spotted back on the nest 10:48 meaning if this is Newman then he can bring back a fish in less than 10 minutes - 9 minutes to be precise!
Is this possible at LG - how far is the fish farm? I am wondering if that was Newman?
He was buzzed... by whom?! Impossible to tell, even with a slomo repeat:
