As a very wise old woman (who is too modest to be named) said yesterday "Deep breath! Let's see what today brings" ;-)
Probably the most beautiful female osprey in the world (compliments of Clare):
And the source of our discomfort, looking a little shamefaced, as well he might (compliments of Moffer):
Off we go !!!

Alarm chirps from EJ
Good morning, all. If anything I'm impressed at how well she's managing to incubate for such long stretches. She's not remotely showing the obvious discomfort that Lady did in her last couple of seasons - though EJ is a few years younger than that.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
She's alarm calling.
More chirps, flapping and flown
I can hear her screaching into the distance
Oh dear she is away again, flapped then helicoptered off the nest, that is all she needs is intruders.

Not a happy EJ:
I live in hope that GJ is off fishing.
EJ's back still alarm calling
Clare Bailey said: I live in hope that GJ is off fishing.
So do I Clare, the fact we have not seen him at the nest to defend!
Just how many intruders has this nest had????
