Well what can I say? Yesterday was a rather grim day as EJ received the square root of zilch in the way of fish. George only made two very brief appearances on the nest, and sadly seems to be seriously neglecting his duties. So what hope is there for the new day? The best scenario is that George suddenly finds good form again and we can all breath a collective sigh of relief. Of course we have to think about EJ reaching a stage where she is driven to fish for herself and thus leaving the eggs exposed to possible predation. In the current circumstances I would be happy to see EJ fend for herself.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Thank you for the new DU, Paul HERON :)
You missed quite a "discussion" following on from "has he got another nest?" - but the answer is, no-one knows. I feel it may not be likely because he seems to be roosting here. On the other hand, what does he do with himself all day?
EJ was up just now for the usual, no flyaround.
Just a small poop:
And a head-scratch:
Just going to pop back to put in yesterday's nightcam snap.
(I hope no-one's watching me adding in my second and third thoughts ;) )
IMAGICAT
Ospreys keep their secrets
We read the books
We scour the internet
We watch incessantly
We discuss endlessly,
Laughing and crying together
We know everything and yet nothing
Because ospreys keep their secrets
Lovely, Pandy :-*
Thanks for the new DU, Paul. And you Pandy for the spot-on and timely poem. And you scylla, for... being you! Checking in after a hard day. Another long day tomorrow, too... :-(

How sorry I am that we didn't have better news for you, CC :( So glad to see you, even tho you can't stay.
A little light coming up, EJ fast asleep:
A sweet tweet from a small bird, and right on top of that the cuckoo started up :)
EJ still sleeps soundly:
Got carried away in the kitchen, all behind now.
DAYCAM 04:04hr:
EJ slept thru that. She woke up with a start @ 0413hr and was calling immediately:
She's been calling on 'n off ever since.
No visitor seen or heard.
EJ looking hopefully out that way, with almost silent chirps.
