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.

Cam down.
IMAGICAT
I noticed EJ didn't give the fish bringer time to change their mind and maybe fly off with the fish again before she grabbed it!!!
Peter going to deal with the camera now.
LG say EJ is in sight and feeding.
Birdies LG DU update.

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.
Oh my, brilliant news! I can't access LS, cam must be down. I'm so pleased that George has upped his game, hopefully he will continue to provide for EJ and this isn't a one off.
Why does the cam have to go down at such an important time! I could scream!
I am in two minds here - of course I am glad she has food but on the other hand this means that we could well see EJ sit for another week and then we are into hatching!
I just hope that if it is this damn male then he has at last got his act together and having now brought in this one, that he continues - daily!
But we await the cam coming up to see what he is doing!
!#!$!???%!!*!!!
Words fail me........
He's still incubating.

Cam back with good sound...no interference noise
HALLELUJAH FISH AT LAST, Phew that was not expected, I looked in on the nest about half an hour ago and thought, oh deary me, now the rain , that is all our girl needs. By time I caught up on the end of last night and today, we have a fish from George. This is great that she is feeding BUT now what, we are back to, what will happen? Maybe this is what he needed, him seeing her going away from the nest and he will look after her now, we know he can, so back to the waiting and watching. For now beautiful, wonderful, devoted EJ is eating.
Sorry after all that excitement I forgot to say Good Morning all.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
