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 ;)
IMAGICAT
CJ7 has been on and off the nest at varying times today. At one point she spent about 20 minutes on it, moved a few sticks around.
Last I could find her flying off

See MARY's post above.
Last seen @ 13:35, so far - and it's nightcam now.
Uneventful night. CJ arrived @ 06:31 with a stick:
She did quite a bit of stick-shifting, then up to the perch:
She had a preen and flew off @ 06:41.
07:22 down from the campost with lovely wide wings:
Two minutes later she was off again.
She was back @ 09:20 and stayed about 35 minutes.
Not back on the nest until 21:10, when she just stoof until she flew @ 21:34:
CJ7 arrived on the nest with a stick at 08.02
Following on from MARY's report - she stayed until 09:46, when she flew up to the campost, she took off @ 10:11.
She was back in the afternoon, on 'n off several times:
Last seen 21:30 when she brought a small clump and only stayed 2 minutes:
She flew from the campost @ 21:37.
CJ7 arrived on the nest at 06.45 am - did a bit of pottering and is still there now.
EDIT: SHE JUMPED UP TO THE CAMPOST AT 06.49
I've got no appearances for the rest of the day - there's a chance I accidentally deleted some footage from the morning, but may not have :-/
EDIT - I've had to stop the download because the cam's on a permanent buffer since 00:14 and it's now 00:40.
