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.

EJ is back, loud chirps, more stickifying, flew almost right away!
IMAGICAT
She's back again! A couple of chirps - another stick?
A couple of snaps while I wait for EJ to decide what to do next.
First stick looks attached to a pale Pine Marten's head ;)
Second - what?
She's waiting on the side of the nest.
I've had a bit of a calamity. I had not hit the wrong button and therefore failed to record, the recorder was switching itself off because, I think, the hard drive was full so it had nowhere to put recordings!
GJ called in to defend.
I shall be incommunicado for a while while I try to do another YouTube rewind recording :(
EJ is here again, she landed with raised wings, now waiting on right side of nest.
Flown.
They both appeared on the nest at about 12-36 Scylla
Just returned from holiday and can't get the Live camera on this site. It is OK on Carnyx site. Any clues please?.
Birdies LG DU update.
Shadows on the nest indicate someone mantling? on the campost ???
The sun's gone in, so no shadows any more :(
