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 !!!

She's back, buffeted by the wind as she returns
She looks wet to me.
Not sure how much of this second worrying season I can cope with but my heart is here and I cannot do anything else but watch and hope. even Blue 24 is having more luck....
I have come to see the beautiful EJ but my eyes are brimming as I consider her plight I have read back a little and LMAC has summed it perfectly Another disastrous year after all her years of success Where on earth are the necessary instincts in George?

Hi Lmac, typing from my iPad so I hope I’ve replied to your post at 12.08 pm correctly. I KNOW, as an observer, that our human feelings run high, but your post *seems* to want to put blaim *somewhere* “this is a disaster at present and if not corrected soon ie today then I fear a lost nest.”
As you say, “this is a disaster at present” - did you consult with EJ on that?
“if not corrected soon” by whom? Humans? The VC? As the longstanding female resident, EJ is in charge.
Our emotions run high, as humans, but we must all always remember that this is nature. We are privileged with cams on certain nests.
EJ chose this partner. We must put our human feelings aside.
WFIW I love and adore EJ and knowing her ageing years I, as a human, would be gutted to see a failed nest! I will, however, console myself that EJ was in charge and.it was her choice <3
Whilst I’m here I thank every single one of you who posts, on each and every thread. The LG forum is my daily one stop Osprey news place, saying it here because I daren’t start another thread!
Will now go back in to lurking x

Well said, I needed that!!
Lmac, it wasn’t me who commented yesterday but if you want to channel ur frustration to me I will forgive.
We are all entitled to our opinions.
As for telling me ‘this is the real world’ then, if you re-read my post then THAT is exactly what I was saying.
Peace, hun, this is EJ’s nest and SHE says what happens next x
