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.

Trying said:Could it be a pine marten probing a bit from below?
Will we see the eggs disappear down thru the nest material one by one? ;)
IMAGICAT
Cuckoo - definitely at LG :)
No nest activity so far. Did yesterday evening's ins 'n outs wear them out? Are they dozing together in a tree? Are they fishing? Are they exploring?
Oh for the PTZ rover - not that anyone would be manning it now. Thinks: if, like last year accidentally, it was left overnight on a long view, we'd have sufficient light to see the cam from quite early in the morning.
Someone just landed on campost.
EJ onto nest. I have to say that over the past 3 days she's had a spring in her step :-*
Back up to campost.
Flown - only a glimpse across the top of the screen. Chirp heard afterwards.
EJ seemed very wary about the nest cup and eggs, to me.05-01 And here comes the Sunrise...with what look more like lighteningbolt looking sunrays
EJ's visit to campost and nest:
A spring in her step - well, you can tell in the movie ;)
Back up to campost:
No flyaway, there was just a fleeting shadow on the left. Maybe MOFFER could have found one in VLC :)
EJ, when leaving campost, flew down low to left of nest, came into view at 12 o'clock of nest, and exited the cam scene at 2 o'clock
