I'm trying to think what the heck to say, and to recall yesterday's sparse events :-/
Was last night the last of EJ the Diva's vigils? (No, she wasn't singing.)
But she left at daycam, after calling, flying in GJ's direction. Is this to be our last sight of EJ leaving after a night on the nest?
In the morning EJ did some minor nestorising and was occupied defending ~vs~ an unseen intruder, and Moffer passed on Alison's observation that GJ had muscled in!
(Taken from Moffer's snaps, and overly brightened to show EJ's face.)
.
For the rest of the day we saw nothing of EJ or anyone else - apart from Moffer's delightful "young Redstart?" :-*
We (CC an' me) are thinking that the first day of June might be a good time to start the off-season thread, all things being equal. All views welcome.
========================
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.

Checking eggs :'( Crouched over them, will she sit?
Wow - here's GJ (presumably !!! ) landed on her back!
He's flown, leaving EJ in mantle stance facing right.
(If you're watching, you'll have noticed the edit!)
LoL...now who would be watching at this sort of silly hour? :-p
Trying said:03-36.... Nice owl sounds coming from somewhere :-)
I was listening for them when EJ arrived - more likely to have been Dyfi tho :)
=============
First reasonably unblurred landing shot:
She veered off slightly to the right as she flew off.
Before EJ arrived I was also doing snaps of the mist in and out and back in again, but you can see here that there was low mist so I'll spam no more ;)
Sun on the mist:
Kitchen calls.

Good Morning Scylla and Trying and all who follow
Thank You Scylla for your excellent opening post and round up of yesterday.
Also for your's and Trying's overnight reports...
Hmph G turns up for his haphazard jumps on EJ's back, where's the flippin fish G.
Nest still empty with the sun splitting the heavens
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Good morning, MARY, glad to see you! :-* I'm just back from the kitchen with an Everest salad, so am hoping for a quiet hour (after all, one must chew everything 32 times ;) ).
