16:33 Steve Dewsnap Still no Osp on Llyn Brennig nest just looked.
16:34 Heather Corfield LJ2 was on the Glaslyn nest at 15.51.
16:38 Steve Dewsnap Unfortunately my money is on it being LJ2 sky dancing. As Heather said she saw him with nest material 11 minutes before MrsG arrived here.
16:38 Heather Corfield Mrs G has just landed back on the PC nest.

It's all go this afternoon. Approx 16.50 an osprey landed on the nest. Initially I could only see a BTO ring, and though it might have been the BTO ringed female who had visited before, but I replayed it and zoomed. It was LJ2. Heather confirmed it. He visited at 11.38 today and yesterday at 11.38. as well. Still waiting for his mate from last year to return.

Edit: on re-reading this I must have got one of the times wrong. They were on chat.
17.07 Blue LLJ2(18)m returned again, briefly
I don't know where Z2/Aeron is - he hasn't been to see the 'intruder' off
Interesting comment from Heather
17:11 Heather Corfield I think he might be trying we saw three ospreys over the Glaslyn nest at one point while Mrs G was over there
I think both birds had Darvics. Possible LJ2 and Aeron/Z2? I'm waiting for Heather to confirm. I think that LJ2 looks a bit like Aran, Cirrrus. Quite a lot of white.
Edit: The first osprey (Aeron/Z2??) landed in the nest with the fish
as the second (JL2?) osprey comes in, the first moves to the front of the nest, and out of sight. Second osp has at least a BTO ring then...
Blue Darvic shows on the left leg
There was a bit of posturing, then they both flew off
