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 has broken, bring on the new day
If recent history repeats itself soon...G will be in for a hoped for mating shortly.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Daycam is here....
Does it look like EJ is frosted, or is it an illusion?
I think I heard GJ chirp a minute ago. (I'm doing owlets branching.)

Yes, I thought she looked frosty - between frosty and wet, maybe?
DAYCAM 04:50hr (5 minutes earlier each day)
I think the site is speeding up a bit now.
Here's GJ - paddling futilely on EJ's very frosty back (it's clearer now.
Some things are pretty predictable... :-pAlthough he didn't beat the daycam today...and it is recorded in colour

Fly-off very blurred.

What a shame (nothing against GJ) that EJ didn't take up with New Male, they'd have been less unsynced.
What was that all about?! Loud chirps from EJ and she flew out and back.
