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.

Hiya MIKE! So happy you are back :)
I'm in a pickle here.
Looks like EJ expects/hopes for a fish...
These are 2 of the lost videos, I'm not doing the one in between because it had so many clips that would need to be recorded off YT rewind.
This is the GJ one, from YouTube. I was struck that EJ is behaving as in courting phase :-/
MC. It would be strange if you Weren't in a pickle!!
Birdies LG DU update.
Over the past few days EJ's hopes have been raised, please let them not be dashed.

Eggs spread out :o
Ahoy there Mike - hmmm just back and up to mischief already.... pickle! Scylla - Never!!!!
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
EJ had spent nearly 2 hours hoping for a fish, in the end she flew off - see her flutter in the sky and then call, and a bit later there's an alarm call.
Can't believe you are still here posting Scylla, you must have the highest power duracell batteries in you LOL....
Nest is empty at the moment.
