It may be Mother's Day here, but the sentiment is still somber. ~Limpy's morning pic EJ was home with no visitor but GJ for his early morning stopover and then a duck (scylla's vid)! Around 5 pm yesterday afternoon, EJ left the eggs for about an hour and a quarter, during which time the cam was unreliably up and down. Though the eggs were still intact on her return, and it isn't clear where she went and what she did, it marks her willingness to leave the eggs for a long time. In fact, earlier, she did leave for about 20 mins....(scylla's vid). Probably she did not have a fish during her long break, but it does seem she benefited from being away. Will she go fishing by the end of Sunday? Many of us are betting she will. Here she is for the record, nuttin' but buzz...© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild_______________________________________The Daily Update is for recording nest events only, allowing for banter, though—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread.

Speechless.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
Birdies LG DU update.
And now incubating. I am assuming it is George - anyone know his plumage well enough to confirm?
I don't what to say either, I can't decide if I'm hopeful that GJ will now provide, or gutted that this could prolong the agony.
Cam's frozen. I wasn't even sure it was GJ but he's approaching the eggs.
I am almost asleep :-/
^^^ I've only just noticed that that didn't post - it was 3 minutes ago, the cam is frozen again tho.

Exactly my thoughts. I don't know whether I should be happy, relieved, or full of dread. I suppose 1 step at a time - at least the positive things is that she is now feeding.
