At the moment, my VLC stream is unavailable. :-/ Therefore no black+white EJ shot to begin this DU.
While people are adjusting to the new moniker, we are also adjusting to his personally unique behaviors, such as sitting on EJ and pecking her head during mating. It helps to think of them as love bites. :-D And he has a way with sticks (video by scylla). He did finally deliver a headless fish to her just before 10 am after a morning filled with begging. Probably just so he could have another go brooding those eggs. (by Korky)
Moffer captured a wonderful sequence of His Adorableness here.
And please don't miss our resident poetess Lindybird's lovely verse about our guy here.
I think we are all agreed that we have developed an affection for this guy as he gets the hang of domestic life with EJ. Treat her right, guy, and she'll give you much joy, as well as a few generations of progeny! (pic by Karen)
Oh, and the aurora borealis effect we had on the cam before dawn yesterday was explained by trevor here as mist droplets caught in the IR cam light!
I just hope we have a cam by tomorrow morning so we can see if G manages more than one fish a day! :-(_______________________________________The Daily Update is for recording nest events only, allowing for banter, though—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread.

Morning all. Thanks CC for starting the day and Scylla for her pics and vids.
scylla said: Dang corvids!
Dang corvids!
and so say all of us!
Morning everyone. It's been a cold night, that's clear to see. Lots hope cam behaves today, especially as you have had problems overnight. Happy viewing everyone.
Morning ALL - My, what a frosty one this morning! Thanks for all the earlier updates and intro, CC.
This male does not seem to be one for fishing early morning! Hopefully he'll be in soon as there was no fish late last night.
Who was that EJ?
EJ is calling
Edit: then she was up wing flapping and took off quickly returning and has now settled on the eggs.
I'm off out for the day. Hopefully a nice big fish soon and a lovely peaceful day here. SYAL
Up calling and flapping. Flown
and back
Just come back to take a look and thank goodness the nest and EJ look thawed out
Hi MOFFER
Hi Patily :) The site is so slow for me today. I don't think it's me. I checked everything, and done a C Cleaner and emptied my recycle bin, so is it slow for everyone else?
Got a thick head this morning, and still got the aches, shivers and shakes, so I don't know how long i'll be here.
Can she see her fella with a fish. Calling but stopped now
