Both elements of our couple were active on-cam yesterday, both fit and "happy".
Too hot for a worthy picture.
Moonrise tonight:

Wrong !!!
EJ had flown, with GJ on her tail, to the campost with a biggish stick! GJ summoned her with body-language ;) and she descended and they mantled for a while, then GJ 'attacked' and flew off. Quite a while later, EJ also flew.
After this, GJ flew straight off to the side:

EJ is back with alarmy chirps, OK, she shifted a stick.
Up to campost, I think. Had taken my eye off her.
It rarely happens, but my recorder glitched and I can't open some of the file, so no video. After this she went up to the campost and after a bit she flew off, unseen.
Good morning MC and all.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning, MIKE. I'm trying and failing to ID a little bird on the nest some minutes ago - it had a bobbing tail so I'm looking up wagtails. Video is awful grainy :(
Good Morning All
Thanks for starting us off again SCYLLA.
Still an empty nest.
Can‘t stay long this morning as have to get ready for an early hike :-)
Will check back later to see if EJ has visited AO, or that a miracle happens and G provides one for her.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023

Unedited - but did MOFFER snap this one the other day? She wouldn't need to watch for long :)
Hi Mary. Enjoy your walk!!
MC. It is a Lark of some sorts.
Someone is scrabbling on something metallic but nothing seen. Aha! EJ descended from campost :)
Good morning, MARY! Sorry I've not been attentive, but I have been 'working' in the background. I wonder if we'll get more pics from your hike? :)
Thank you for the contribution, MIKE :)
I'm going to get breakfast after snapping EJ.
