Mother's Day brought MIA George back to the nest at 9:49 am, with a fish. No question that this capture (scylla's vid) epitomizes the discussion of the day. ~Moffer's pic
Sigh. Are we happy or not? For sodden EJ getting a meal, yes. For what it means for the eggs, not so much. He incubated for over 2 hours while EJ was away, before he got spooked by something and left the nest, but then he returned. GJ did not bring another meal the rest of the day, so...will he return today with a fish for EJ? Stay tuned, because with ospreys, you just never can tell.
There were two intruders that EJ chased off (no GJ seen) one looked unringed and the next had a Blue Darvic and landed on the nest. ~Moffer's pic Moffer reported that Alison at the VC posted news of the unringed intruder with pics.
Here she is for the record, much as she has been in the past weeknights, except with something in her stomach.© 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.

12.32 creeping gently back into the cup, moving a large swathe of dead grass or matter in the process. Paddling and settling.

I take it no fish yet. Lovely day up there, though.

No, not settling. She is backing from the cup again...cam down... and a refresh brings it back
Having a preen
No Lynette, no fish. Just one early morning landing on her back, and flying.
EJ is preening again, and checking the view.
Mmm, less paddling, more poisson. I fear he’s doing the one fish wonder again.

Back on eggs
Hi all, checking in between chores, I had to, that's check in, an excuse to have a wee sit. Great updates from you, had a laugh at some of your posts Sheila! My she did have a right old preening and cleaning session. Good to see her like her old self again, IF ONLY that George would bring in FISH and not keep us waiting and wondering again! Right of again, check in later. TTFN
