A very quick intro because of pressures here, but I want to do it so that we at least have a UK English date, after the Americans :-* hijacked us 2 days running :o :o :o
EJ spent the whole day off the nest yesterday (vid showing departure and return with GJ, briefly, and settling for the night) - much to our relief. It was a pretty horrible day for the poor eggs to be exposed to, but we really do not want any hatch whatsoever, given the unlikelihood of provisions being supplied by that dork GJ. (Sorry, GJ, but you are not fit for purpose, intentionally or otherwise.)
We have been given hope by ChrisT that the PTZ (roving/roaming cam) may be online soon - what a difference that would make to us.
EJ is currently tucked in:

Dork. Love it.

I knew you could handle it, CC :-* And I know that Birdie can too, cos I've noticed she's above carping over minutiae, unlike some of us :(

And thank you for compensating for my inadequacy!
"Dork" - and if that's not an Americanism I don't know what is! One filters according to taste ;)
Up for a quick poop - no flap, straight back to eggs:
Suddenly something woke her and she spent 3 minutes calling. (I've made this an 'unlisted' video, so's not to inflict an uneventful watch on my poor (few) unsuspecting subscribers.)
Looking up and around:
Even glancing up to the campost :o
I scoured the sky but couldn't see a flier. At daycam she was sleeping.
DAYCAM 03:38hr:
She's just awoken from her tucked sleep and is calling again.
She's only just stopped calling... for now.
Resumed. Mighta known she would.
Your on the ball this Morning Scylla :-)EJ is female....she is expected and allowed to be contrary. :-p
I wonder if he just flew by, as I thought I heard chirps as when he's about to visit sometimes, and she followed someone. She's still calling.
EDIT - vid.
She's flown.
Take-off at the fluffy stage:
Good Morning Scylla, Trying and all who are around and those who have yet to arrive :-)
Thanks for starting the thread and your introduction SCYLLA.
I just wish G. would do one, then there may be a chance that EJ could attract an Osprey “that was fit for purpose“ Scylla :-) and that they bonded, he treated her like she so deserves to be treated, then hopefully she could have a better season next year,
There are those who would write her off because she is getting on in years, that says more about them than it does about EJ, remember Green J hatched chicks when she was much older than EJ.
Anyway I do hope she looks after herself, and where is a Crow or Pine Martin when you want one.
