Beautiful female, Rutland's CJ7:
The hoped-for partner for CJ7, local male LS7, has not yet appeared. CJ has been tending the nest daily and yesterday she took everyone by surprise, producing an egg - which took us by surprise by surviving... until midnight at least ;)

17th
This bird arrived with a "biscuit" in its beak, pottered about the nest interring and disinterring it, apparently swallowing and regurgitating it, and flew off with it:
18th
A few corvid visits in the morning but none in the afternoon, nor visits from anyone else that I saw.
Evening weather:
As you know there are a multitude of nest platforms scattered around the harbour, several of which have trail cameras on them.
Here is a photo taken on one of them, which shows a very healthy Raven. Just look at the size of that beak.

About my mental health, no doubt - it's very fashionable
Seriously, tho, thank you for your thoughts, GardenBirder - you know my bodyclock's reputation, it's a real pain to live with - and I must admit I've been extra tired lately and keep losing concentration.
Do we all realise it's nearly February, therefore nearly March?! And I've got 2 poorly laptops that I can't get to grips with mending myself and the PC mending shop* is closed at the mo, it's been open-n-shut since this dang pang demmick kicked off.
*Not that I've got much faith in them, the last time they had one of my laptops they charged me £££ and didn't fix the prob, I ended up doing it myself that time.
Ha, ha, Scylla! But as I am sure you know, we are concerned about your physical health, of course! We take your mental health as a (most welcome!) given--lol! I wonder, perhaps you should get a test for Covid. Why? I've just read an article from the 22nd January in a link posted today by another Forumate about a young lady who felt a bit tired, no other symptoms, and decided to get a Covid test. Turned out she had Covid as did something like 15 others of her probably-illegally-taken January gap year trip to France for a ski- instructor-training lesson for which the individuals had each paid nearly 9 thousand pounds. And you, of course, are another young lady and we do not want to lose you!
Morning of the 24th there was a very sudden downpour which jerked the nest :O
(Snaps need to be clicked on for full size - I've since stymied the system downsizing, for the time being, but forgot about these.)
This morning:
