Yesterday's Daily Update saw 18 pages of quite frankly Ospreytastic input. The young male who EJ has taken to, impressed us with two well sized fish deliveries. As we come into a new day, EJ is on her eggs but she has a slightly restless look. Perhaps we may see a third egg soon.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Stunning evening
EJ's back and they have a tug-o-fish over the leftover fish tail (not much left!)
which Junior wins, and he leaves with his prize
and she settles down on her eggs

Goldarnit I was going to post that shot - with the comment that his eyes match the trees ;)
I got the distinct impression today that Junior is very "happy".
'Bout time I posted some videos.
Chasing Ravens - the flybys aren't as clear as he deserves :(
Another battle - this time to get EJ off the eggs so he can incubate (failed):
Two matings, first successful with head-pecks, the second unsuccessful as EJ wouldn't co-operate:
Contrasting sticks, nestorising, trying to displace EJ again:
EJ defended for 3 minutes - soundlessly, unfortunately - what a time for it to go down :(
Did I post the fish delivery already? If so, here it is again:
Junior flies off to defend, calls heard while nest empty:

Absolutely no stamina these days, need another rest. Please let me know if there've been events that should go on our video record. At the moment I'm doing a lot of Junior's daily performance, him being a new partner and, we are told, a new adult.
IMAGICAT
Oh Junior, another stick. He must have inhaled that fish tail.
Faffing around and gone while EJ calls.
Gentle calls from EJ. Surely she's not after more fish after demolishing the previous monster ;-)
He's back with another stick landing on EJ

Dear oh dear, what lengths will he go to? He stepped right thru her then ;-D
It didn't work so he's gone.
20.06: Junior back and trying to get a shot on the eggs. EJ wins that tussle, so he flies off.
