Black cam (trained on the Love Tree perch, no doubt) right now, no evidence of any light or sounds of osprey.
Yesterday we did not see EJ with fish, nor did we see GJ though we might have heard his skydancing. We only saw EJ perching on the Love Tree preening out her moults in between brief visits to the nest.

I've found the early-morning skydance and am working on it.
In the meantime, EJ gives GJ a poop demo (unfortunately it went into spray mode after this, but it was quite long ;) )

LOL I have been going back and forward, frame by frame, arrow left, arrow right, trying to capture that, and failed!! She still has plenty of fish left. It will last all day at this rate

As we can gauge nest events by sound-only (if we can find them), then I agree that it would be good to see the Love Tree events when the light comes up.
Last night we were in darkness between 23:00 and 03:45, when sufficient light filtered thru for us to discern if anyone landed in the tree - but this period of darkness will get longer night by night, so our decision may need to be reviewed.
I have inserted the first early-morning skydance into the catchup post. Sorry I missed it first time of "looking".
Thank you Sheila. Moffer is still frustrated by power cuts and slow broadband etc. and currently they are supplied by a generator which does not help!
She is building, from scratch, a wooden shed and presently is becoming expert in the use of a nail gun! plus her garden is looking good so that is where her frustration has been going!
We are promised photos when it is all finished which she hopes will be by the weekend.
Birdies LG DU update.
EJ was flapping, possibly in response to an unseen passerby... then another good poop.
Editing in snaps:
Kitchen calls...
13.52 EJ is still in the Love Tree. Cam did a zoom out and a partial zoom in, perhaps to try to get a better focus
before...
after...
I think the wind may be getting up a bit. The annoying tree top appeared again - a gust perhaps.
Good to hear the news of Moffer, Mike. Thanks.
Alarm chipping, rather faint, must be EJ tho?
More chipping and she's flown... towards the nest?
More chipping but cam still on tree... now moving... EJ with fish on a dead tree, ready for action.
