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:

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.

20.55 She's back already. He was chirping all the while unttl she returned.They're a very talkative couple. She's complaining already as he flies off.
20.47 Axel brought in another 'minnow'. Quickly exchanged and Mistle flew off. She won't be gone long!!
Edit. Sorry, I clearly hadn't refreshed!

Ahhhhh! NOW the chat updates and I see 2 or 3 posts about the fish! God bless RSPB chat! Sorry for bothering everyone!

CRinger said: Just a gentle reminder: RSPB video on 4th May say in live chat: 'all will be revealed shortly about naming' Mistle. The FOURTH of May!
I have written a not-so-gentle reminder. Hope I don't get thrown out.
Before I forget Scylla............. I will 'shortly' (RSPB Video definition) be sending you a birthday card. Don't be surprised that it has an Xmas 2022 stamp on it.
