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.

Good morning everyone. Well, our EJ has a companion, but she doesn't look too enthralled. Let's hope he'll grow on her.
Friendly, interested EJ?
Hi Clare. Good to see you!!
Birdies LG DU update.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
As I'm far from keeping up, am going to have a little lie-down, SYAL.
I should go, but I can't I bet LG are over the moon too
Successful mating?
EDITING in snaps:
