EDIT
Late in the day I changed the title of this thread from "DU" to "Off-Season Obs" ~ anyone is welcome to suggest a better title than the current one :)

No osprey presence yesterday, but in the evening a visit from an osprey nemesis ;)

TIGER has reminded us that we mustn't jump the gun when our ospreys don't appear on-cam, or even at the Centre, for a day or two, so we wait...

Mike said:Does anyone want to try and identify the bird on the feeder? It seems much larger than the usual visitors about pigeon size?
I noticed that this morning, MIKE. There were 2 visits, and afterwards 2 birds walked around the ground around that feeder, I thought they looked pigeony.
This is 2-speed but still takes too long, sorry:
They weren't nearly as big as this ground-feeder tho :o :o :o
Ha, ha, Korky! Sure it is not a Hummingbird?--lol!
Kind regards, Ann

What a dang shame I ditzed out on the WinterWatch visit to the feeder - sorry, folks! Thank goodness our KATE was on the ball :-*
A squirrel monopolised the feeder for 40 minutes this morning:
Later in the morning some Cresties appeared but were not conducive to nice snaps:
