We awoke yesterday to a very soggy EJ on the nest (MaryGKs pic), but thank goodness she still had her breakfish behind her, because she never got any fish. Not that GJ didn't have one when he visited, twice, but she seemed not interested. Was it too small? Meager leftovers? Did she later realize she better get one before having to wait another 24 hours for the next one? Probably not. But you never know with ospreys.
GJ, for his part, was the masterful defender of the nest, arriving to stand along EJ repelling a hopeful skydancer (scylla's vid). He also spent some time on the eggs, looking proud after he dragged a stick over EJ to get her to leave. We hope he will find inspiration for fishing out another big one today, given yesterday was a difficult fishing day due to rain and wind.

Well sadly I have to go now, as I have visitors today, so got to be getting on with stuff.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
