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...

Puh-lease, Wendy - it's BBC Sounds nowadays. Keep up, will ya? ;-D xxx
Well! It was different this morning :o No birds pre-daycam, and the first critter was a squirrel @ 08:24hr, it ate uninterrupted for 14 minutes :o
After it left a GSW arrived within a minute and had 5 minutes all to itself !!! Until these few arrived (they wouldn't pose all facing the cam with nice clear beaks, but at least this isn't too blurred):
So! No Crestie whatsoever this morning, but I haven't checked the whole day (I would never spot one, scrolling at 100 miles an hour thru the long recording) but will check again at evening time.
G'night!

Hi CC, good to hear from you again. Well you have to have a laugh amongst coping with the new set up!
Good morning, I'm all behind again! I've done last evening's feeder - it was very busy, a Crestie mucked in with the others for a while, then after they'd all been gone 5 minutes or so it returned and had a long session to itself (should have edited it shorter) - except for another Crestie who may have alternated, I haven't stopped to study any differences. And if I have trouble between Coal and Great Tits, imagine me trying to differentiate 2 Cresties :o ;-D
I'll have a look at the early morning now :)
How lovely Scylla, two cresties. I have yet to get a good shot of one. One day you will get the coal and great tits sorted out!
Well caught MC.
Birdies LG DU update.
