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. Thank you!
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.

Hi, Mike!
She took a quick comfort flight:
Back again:
Settled:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
All quiet now. EJ looks considerably dryer
Thank you for starting the new DAILY UPDATE, CC ;-*
Good morning, all! Yes, MIKE, I've had a big lie-in, and have caught up.
So, the tuffie was delivered by an intruder - poor chap must have been miffed when he later landed in the same place and got short shrift from EJ.
Trying said:I am not convinced 100% that it was Junior.I need a second opinion...if anyone has access to a recording of the event.
I'll be doing an overnight/morning catchup, but don't anyone hold their breath ;)

Thanks Moffer - she has been quiet since I posted :-)
Thank you for reminding me that my sound is still muted, KAREN ;)
Calling again.
Just popped back to say that I'm having huge difficulty playing/scanning 0400-0500hr, which follows a bad but manageable hour.
She's up 'n off.
That posted much quicker :o
