Well, hello all, Wasn't able to be around at all yesterday as tied up with final day of Kids Summer Club and Concert. Fab week, but can now get back to serious osprey watching.
Seems it was a varied day with deliveries of fish and comings and goings of youngsters on the nest. Some fantastic shots by lots of you and have saved some for my portfolio. At present EJ is still on the nest as she was when I logged on about 11.30pm yesterday. Over to the night shift, happy viewing, see you in the morning.

Morning all ... EJ arrives with a fish ... empty nest ... chirps gently .... looks around ... no takers? Starts eating herself.

Poor EJ ... nobody around to help her eat the fish ... she looks quite forlorn. I wonder if this will hasten her departure to Africa?
At last ... a young one arrives to take the fish from EJ! By the noise its making it could be Titch!
It is 'fish-stuck-to-foot' dance time again!
Morning all and thanks for the earlier reporting and pics. One juve on the nest with a fish at the moment. I think Rothes left on 10th or 11th August last year. I will check later. Will be out for the rest of the morning so catch up later.
Just logged on., Thanks to all for updates during the night. I wonder how long it will be before EJ flies south.
One juve on the nest eating, presumably the one that got it stuck on its foot and did a dance!
Do we recognise which one -- I'm blowed if I can.
He is watching something and you can hear faint, no loud callings nearbye. it sounds as though on juve has landed on the cam post.
Juve on the nest was mantling as one juve is calling like mad for food off screen.
Morning All. This is the nest as I came on:
