Yesterday's Daily Update saw some 370 posts, and spread to 25 pages. Trust me if you ever get the chance to read over it you will find it a great read. Not sure I could ever find the brevity to sum it up in one post.
Here's to Tuesday, and hopefully it will see EJ settle down with the most suitable male. She is on the nest just now. Quite windy at LG

Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Maybe it's not even an egg but just a prop, and EJ is making a historical film about the early years of Ospreys breeding in Scotland. I could just imagine her screaming at some overstressed props department guy: "How in the name of textbook could you even think that was anything like an early 1960s,stick!?" LOL
That's the game, EJ start their training with a tough module. None of that easy moss fetching malarkey.
Sometimes I just can't find the words to describe the phenomenon that is EJ The Phenomenal. She's roosting just now, standing next to the egg, she deems to be as fertilised as one of the sticks on her nest. She is quite literally a beautiful, amazing, sensational Osprey. I get the feeling I'll be spending the month of May celebrating EJ's 21st. What an Osprey!
You can't tear yourself away tonight, {{{Heron}}}
Here's EJ leaving the egg and starting a snooze (which didn't last long):
IMAGICAT
It's seriously well past my time for roosting. To everyone on the rest of the night shift, and early day shift. Have an Ospreytastic time.
Now a big flap and alertness, more flappiing.
Scylla. My name is Paul, and I am an Ospreyholic. And blooming proud of it. LOL
04.58. EJ on nest, standing relatively close to an egg. Happy watching my fellow Ospreyholics.
LOL Paul Heron (I know you shouldn't give your whole name, but...)

"Someone's out there, shall I protect the egg?" (answer was No, she's at the back of the nest again):
Well, what a turn up. Not usually awake at this time but for some reason I looked in. How odd. I wondered why EJ was spending the night on the nest. Interesting that her instincts tell her not to incubate. What on earth is going to happen next in this strange season?
