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.

FISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit - here's the vid but I forgot to wait for GJ to incubate. Nothing new there ;)
Not the puniest fish we've ever seen ;)

Perhaps GJ is starting to realise the duties of a male Osprey. Its way too late for this year, but perhaps there is hope for this fellow in future years.

He's incubating eggs now
EJ is back and GJ has left.
Are you monitoring actively now, MOFFER?
The Reply button has gone white (here, anyway) and I can't post in RF because there's no Post button in there.
Edit - my browser had gone bonkers - and this one hasn't been installed very long!
Flybys x 2 at least but cannot ID.
EJ landed alarm chirping Flapping...
