AX6 Axel and his lovely unringed partner Mistle are bonding well, and Mistle has been threatening to lay an egg - we await developments.
It seems that Mistle has been on the perch & nest all night:

Problem is, those thin rays are caused by spider stuff on the lens and it's a real nuisance a bit later, I've given up on a video of Axel's fly-in/takeover and Mistle's stick delivery.
Here was Mistle picking at the intrusive stick:
Axel incoming 05:22, he took over eventually and Mistle flew, returning with a stick:
Axel flew:
Mistle had flown when she sensed Axel on his way - he brought 2 little clods and took over again - lots of chopping 'n changing again this morning:
More little clods:
Currently Mistle is dozing on the eggs, hope Axel's gone fishing:
Would you believe it?! The first fish was almost exactly the same time as Lowes' first fish - it's been windy there too.
I'm packing up now, SYAL :)))
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
