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.

More shrill calls. Still looking above. Quite ear piercing. No visual...
She looks, watches...must be flying above her.
