Yesterday's Daily Update saw some some gripping action, including the return of sound, a couple of fish deliveries and much much more. Here's to today being a great day for EJ the Phenomenal and her mate. Here's to that young Osprey continuing to improve. I personally believe in him and think that he will get better and better. I suppose it’s hard for a young male Osprey not to be a bit starstruck by EJ.

Is the intruder back? Or was she calling junior to take over?
He did not appear and EJ was back quickly
Good morning! I see that male Junior is still on his learning curve. Defend nest - tick; Sticking around - sort of; Bringing fish - could do much better; Incubation - nil today!
A cheerful songbird was in the background - redstart?
11.17 EJ is up and fish calling. Looking around, calling, and flown off 11.18

And back to the nest, with another call, and settles gently on the eggs.

Thanks very much Scylla. Lovely to hear the skydance. I've not heard it much this year and wonder if it's more common with 'new' pairings?
Also good to see he brought her a fish, even if it was a tiddly bit
11.25 How good to see EJ looking a bit more relaxed
so hopefully new boy is going to prove his worth, if anyone can teach him EJ is the one to do it.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
She's flown again.
11.34 EJ has flown
Back again:
11.35 and back
