Very delayed catch up.
17.25 EJ lands with tiny peeps
Slightly mantles but does not sound or appear alarmed
Blue Darvic ring, left leg, but I can't make it out, although it's 3 digits with the middle one possibly being X or K
EJ doesn't seem bothered at all.
17.35 After a very quiet visit, he leaves
17.38 EJ leaves
Hmmm who was that guy? EJ seemed at ease with him.
17.51 GJ lands and alarm chirps
EJ soon joins him
oops, itchy bit
17.57 GJ is still shouting at an intruder. EJ appears not to be defending now, more like observing
18.00 GJ leaves
18.02 EJ leaves
19.35 EJ returned with a soft chirp
19.40 She calls for fish
She's soon quiet again
19.45 she's off with a shout
Perhaps EJ is thinking "come back next year and i'll be waiting"

Thanks, Everyone, for all of the pics and posts. Wasn't one of the male intruders last year a bird with a blue ring and 3 digits on it? Was this intruder the same bird?
Kind regards, Ann

There was FC8, I think that was a male; and PP7 Cromarty.
Earlier this season we had NW3, I was hoping he'd stay cos it would be a no-brainer to call him Hampstead - very distinguished sounding ;-)

LOL, Scylla--love the Hampstead!
I dunno why, but I LOVE Hampstead! Such a lovely yet lonely scene.
That feather sometimes looks like a fluffy little chick :(
Well, can't keep going any longer, sorry to leave you (again) CC. Not sure if I'll make the BC or not.
When we were in the forward hide and wanted to move the mast cam, we would just touch the joystick controlling the camera and sometimes the camera would start spinning (I think it happened this afternoon when the camera went haywire) the only way to stop it was to reboot the system which we couldn't do from the forward hide. A big thankyou for all the pics and vids, keep up the good work.
