More fun and games, the stranger returns with a fish
Which the Hoodie would like to steal!
I've been watching on catch-up so your vids are timely! Thank you so much. Geemeff.
Our pretty visitor landed at 15.50 with a tail end, and for the most part just stood with the fish in his right talon, making no attempt to eat it at all. He was looking around, checking the lie of the land rather than bothering with the fish. But where did he eat the first half, LOL! The hoodie incident is fascinating. He just glared and fluffed up but made no attempt to see it off until the hoodie stepped down towards the bowl. The hoodie thought more about it and flew off to the right, possibly aiming for a perch, but our visitor then flew possibly at it and both disappeared. Cheekily two minutes later the hoodie returned to the empty nest but disappeared with the return of the visitor. I realised that during the time he was away he must have dropped the fish as he was fishless as he crept to the far side of the nest. The visitor gave over an hour and a half's entertainment, and flew off at 17.30.

Unfortunately for those waiting anxiously for Louis and Aila's return, it's a stranger. Nice osprey, tho Mustn't unappreciate him.
