Trying said it best: "Lets show them today, how unpredictable we can be..." Just as we thought the season winding down, the unpredictability of ospreys jumped into play. So GJ delivered two fish (or reasonable parts of fish, #one and #two) to EJ, and proceeded to sit on the eggs. (Moffer's pic of fish #2 delivery) (I just can't post another goofy pic of him sitting! Here's scylla's vid.) Is this season a training session for the next season? Yikes. RSPB FB Abernethy posted a note on GJ's delivery and incubation, compliments of 25mac. I believe we are all flabbergasted, which just goes to show that our human "rational" logic has nothing to do with the way nature operates. :-P
Other than these puzzling events at the Loch Garten nest, we had an unidentified flying object, an appreciation of EJ's dulcet tones when fish calling, and these words were written more than once near the day's end: "Curiouser and curiouser..."
========================
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.

I liked your "dot", CC, just to let you know I was around. Am soon to trawl thru yesterday to midnight. I had woken up and checked the cam, stunned to see GJ incubating! ;o

It's going to be daycam before I'm finished, what with one thing and another!
Well ...the date and time has already turned black :-p

What a fine looking morning seems to be in prospect
Phew! I've just finished last evening's catchup, which includes GJ's significant incubations, EJ's hesitancy with her eggs, and one of the eggs suddenly moving *eek*.
Cuckoo is cuckooing away :) EDIT - might have been Dyfi but it stopped when I shut down LG VLC so I thought it was here - just unfortunate timing that the cucoo took a break at that time :)
Very interesting Scylla

I had posted that the cam was down, which it was, then I posted that it was back up, which it is... then I panicked and thought I'd posted in the wrong thread, which I had not.
Performance so far this session doesn't augur well for the rest of the day >:(
