It was a busy day for EJ yesterday, she was on and off the nest more frequently than usual, plus she suffered a persistent intruder.
(Moffer's snaps, my luridisation)
Who would tangle with her?! No wonder we saw no more of the intruder than a dot in the sky.
After the main event, GJ came to assist - and EJ looked strangely relaxed thereafter:
We last saw EJ as she flew off @ 18:55hr - she flew out of the left of our screen and (probably it's her) back from left to right, up and down, up and... faded into the bright sky. Where did she go?
Can you follow her?
Where did she go? Fishing !!!
In the evening VALERIE (thank you!) posted a link to ©Neil McIntyre's teaser (from his camera's viewfinder) of EJ fishing, and we expect more pics today.
The future of the DU will be decided based on daily events.
=====================
The Daily Update is for recording - with comments, snaps and videos - today's events on the nest. Banter is permitted ;) General osprey questions and discussions should be posted in the Osprey Chat thread.

Is it me...or does EJ's plumage look in better condition than it did a week or so ago?

She couldn't get settled.
She has settled back down. Looking as gorgeous as ever.

Sorry, I didn't ignore you, just missed your post. I mentally noted that EJ's plumage was looking better this morning.
EJ is back, but not sitting yet, she's thinking about it.
Edit - Moffer must still be out shopping!
Thought about it:
Backed off with a flap:
Had a scratch:
She's been standing looking & preening:
