Such a beautiful Osprey:
A subdued start to the new day, as LMAC unmasked the anxieties that many have had about GJ's unreliability, here and here, with convincing evidence.
A virtually fleshless fishtail was all that was brought for EJ to eat yesterday, she was gone for under 45 minutes.
GJ wasn't seen again until evening, when he popped in and almost straight out again.

Good morning MC and Moffer.
Birdies LG DU update.

Calling quite heartily.

Good Morning Scylla, Moffer and all who follow
Thank You Scylla for your start off post and summary.
I hope the thoughts that some people have about GJ servicing two nests is not the case, as it would be devastating if EJ has another horrible year like 2015 and 2017. I will be hoping and praying that this season does not turn into the same 5F and B24 scenario.
As Sheila says EJ is getting on now and we are so privileged to see her return every year, all we want is the best for her, but it is nature, and we have got to accept what happens next, I prefer not to dwell on the doom and gloom, regardless of whether that is the situation or not, maybe it is burying my head in the sand, but I will be praying with all my might that this turns out to be a good season for EJ. Whether that is not being realistic or not, I don't care.
GJ delivered a tail end of a fish.

A few minutes later he was flying around in the distance before vanishing over the forest
Yep! She shouts and he flies off!
