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:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Axel lands, no fish.

NO YOU NAUGHTY BOY NOW
19.14 Mistle flew off to the left.
19.27 she returned (over our right shoulder!) with a chirrup.
Looking settled at the moment

All has been quiet for the past hour, and Mistle hasn't really moved. She is looking very content in the cup.
20.50
What the **** just happened at 20.56. Mistle had been sitting in the nest, quietly looking around but now and again looking down into the nest, then up, no noises, she looked almost staight ahead and all of a sudden flew off the nest with an almighty crash, think her wings hit the camera/microphone, sticks clattered!! She landed back on the dead tree at 20.57pm and is now sitting on top shouting. Have a look back Sheila?

I've been "on it" for about an hour (including earlier events) but now have to put it all together and do the sound, so will be a while yet.
We're left with a mystery, tho.
Late afternoon - Axel's uninspiring visits, then dear Mistle scared off from her contented reverie in the nestcup...
Assuming it was Mistle on the dead tree at the end, at least we didn't lose her from the area.

No comment, I'm doing yesterday's Glaslyn :-/
At least she hasn't been scared off:
