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.

How funny. During Juniors last visit, EJ calling for fish and he yawns :o))
We are Sheila :-)
Off out for a bit - SYAL
I saw that 'yarwn' Moffer, but with two cams on, I initially thought he gave a short intruder call, then realised it wasn't, and forgot all about it!

Aww - I wonder if I edited it out when FF-ing :'(
EDIT - oh it's okay, I haven't got that far yet :) Note to self: remember!
About to eat high-roughage breakfast, will be even slower than usual to respond for the next... hour? ;-D
EJ's keeping a watchful eye
and snoozing, while she waits for her fish.

LOL That explains the white whirly thingy!! I tried it in the hope when one stopped the other might keep going, but it doesn't work like that!
A passing something caught her eye
She gets up and checks her precious eggs
and settles again
I am popping out for a couple of hours - being taken out for lunch!
I leave EJ quietly incubating in the somewhat stiff breeze.

Totally irrelevant, I know, but I keep finding that my efforts to watch LG and Dyfi are being regularly hampered by the distracting (and very enthusiastic) noises of our rampantly mating cockatiels. It's not even as if they are being egged on by any on-screen action!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
