I know Sheila, zilch at LG!! But I often think at times the osprey has become lazy, they don't want to build a nest, attract and court their own mate but instead look to the easy option of taking over a ready made nest. Perhaps the LG team should have refurbished the nest (I don't know why they don't do it anyway) and planted a decoy on it!

I must be going and so disappointed as I so hoped a fish came in while I was working on my PC. I know they can go days without fish and do so when migrating but I feel sorry for Lassie as with hatching near, this is her last week of freedom for a while and she has been defending the nest and their eggs too so more than deserves a fish and should have had one especially as we know things have been much calmer today. Nope, Laddie is not playing fair and I hope to read tomorrow that she has had a late supper. Rant over LOL .... I'm off - G'night all.
She's still calling occasionally for fish, to no avail. I see from the annals that Laddie failed to provide fish for 3 days in May 2013 for Lady, seemingly because of the weather. And of course last year, EJ went for 7 days (I think - this from my own records) without fish before abandoning her eggs. BUT this won't happen here I'm sure!! Always look on the bright side of life.
Very good news, thanks Birdie, and hopefully he’s back to a good routine from now on.
BIRDIE Num Num to the rescue with:
"Laddie brought Lassie a fish at about 04:52. He is incubating."
Oh thank you, BIRDIE !!! I was just about to check back and refreshed the thread for developments, which I almost dreaded to see - this business sent me diving into depression :'(
What am I crying for? Laddie brought Lassie a fish !!! Off I go to find it, and thanks again, BIRDIE :-*

The reason I'm taking so long with the video is because I need to sync the sound - there is skydancing.
(It's very difficult to use my audio editor on this laptop, due to the ultra-high-definition display making programs have tiny GUIs, despite adjustments.)
