FOULSHAW MOSS, & ALL LAKE DISTRICT NEST OBSERVATIONS MARCH 2021 TO END FEB 2022

I've got both cams but only the long view is letting me see in the nestcup:

12:24

Egg or not?

The time is when the snap was taken - she's been in the nestcup a while, behaving as if there's an intruder but she can't get up to chase it.

EDIT - the answer was "not" @ 12:39, dang shame... unless she's covered it up:

35 was standing on the nest when YW wafted down, perhaps from the cam post 35 rhought he had brought supper and took a step towards him but he was actually mantling at an intruder, briefly.35 started calling for fish but he then wanted to mate She did not co-operate.35 was still nagging him for fish when he flew off a few ninutes ago.

I think there is an egg at Foulshaw.   You can just see the head of an Osprey incubating. 

I don't know if Scylla is downloading the stream for here, if you are Scylla would be worth checking earlier footage.

Great spot! Found a Tweet, Mary

Oh well spotted Mary. Good news.

Adjustments have been time-consuming and futile.  Here's the run-up, just to show this couple's behaviour:

I'm pretty sure she's still there now, with her head down, but my brightened snap came out green-screen.

Getting light now and she's sat on the cup, so looking like first egg laid

Thanks Sandra for the Tweet 

Got frosty feathers this morning, I took this screenshot then next time I looked 35 was standing, I think there may have been a change over but of course cannot go back to check.

Definitely, Richard - but we are still not allowed to see it!  This was the first time she moved after first light:

I'm just checking live now...

YW came in for a (probably) unsuccessful mating:

We can't even see when there's no-one on the egg:

I think we will be lucky to see any of the eggs as nest cup looks very deep.
