The event that takes the cake was GJ arriving with a fish for EJ, which was accepted and taken off the nest to eat, while he settled to incubate the forlorn eggs. Of course, the cam then went down and when it reappeared, the apparent father was gone, nowhere to be seen. He returned briefly a while later only to disappear again. What goes on in the heads of osprey, only the osprey know. Events were faithfully recorded by Moffer's excellent captures. This one of GJ was taken by Trying.
Meanwhile, BNN thought she noticed a crack in one of the eggs, but it is unconfirmed as of now. We are not sure if the eggs will be collected, but if they are they will wait until after EJ leaves, to avoid disturbing her.
Yesterday we caught a preview of a beautiful photo of EJ fishing at Rothiemurchus, by Neil McIntyre. It bears reposting, I think.
=====================
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.

Bump! I'm still catching up. We've had an enormous thunderstorm here, sheet lightning for ages and torrential rain. Back eventually.
Back.
Thank you, CC, for the usual super-start ;) You noticed that I did a new "Osprey Chat" legend, that was because I was not competent to copy over the previous without losing the end of the post.
What a turn-up yesterday !!!

She's tucked peacefully:
Almost as soon as I posted that she got up for a poop and is still up!
Snap-fest!
She's got her indigestion again, nothing serious ;)
OMG it's daycam already!
It woke her up.
DAYCAM 03:19hr:
She soon tucked in again:
Some mist lying low.
She flew, after a bit of a fidget.
These are brightened.
03-28....and she has flown the nest!!
Does this view signal another beautiful day at LG?
