Well, it certainly was another exciting day at the nest. While we are delighted that Junior is stepping up to the plate, we couldn't figure out how he been able to deliver two good sized fish within about half an hour. After much speculation about where he could have gone to fish and have time to catch and bring another, RSPB Loch Garten FB posted that an intruder male had brought the first trout (BNN's video), just before the 2nd delivery by Junior! Junior's looked much better, too, and she looked like she wanted to take it off him.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild_______________________________________The Daily Update is for recording nest events only, allowing for banter, though—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread.

The events surrounding the two fish an intruder are still unclear. Then of course there were the subsequent "trout variety" discussions: Blue trout, sea trout, brown trout or rainbow trout??? It is a mystery to me, though whatever the first one was, it did seem like a tough tear for EJ.

That boy is a hooligan! Gone now. Hope you captured it Moffer.
I got this shot. I thought he was going to whack the camera at one point!
Birdies LG DU update.
Junior just arrived He didn't bring anything and EJ is nagging him....even more now as he's trying to place a twiggy branch and is getting it tangled on EJ and hitting her Now he has flown
Good Morning MOFFER MIKE and CATHY
Hi Patily.
Morning All.... EJ's first visitor was about 5-15 BST, and I dont think it was raining then.And when I say visitor... thats because I am not convinced 100% that it was Junior.I need a second opinion...if anyone has access to a recording of the event.
Morning again :o)
Trying, I looked on youtube and found the bird in question. I think it is Junior, landing on her and then looking like butter wouldn't melt, and EJ calling for fish. For some reason, my screenshot isn't working, but I'm sure Scylla will have it.
EJ is calling, bless her
I see you got the sequence with the branch Moffer! Great stuff. Thank you.
Good morning, all. EJ was kind enough to show us her eggs for a moment:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good morning Clare.
She's flown
and back. Just a comfort flight
