Good morning!
I was testing sound my software this morning (nobody knows what I go thru!) and came across this little episode, a bit of a song 'n dance by one of the youngsters:

Last season, NC0 was last seen at 8am on 22.8.21
In 2020, due to the nest not being occupied, her last presumed sighting was observed on the 3rd August
In reply to patily:
13:25 Intruder to the nest, it appeared to be the same one as yesterday though have to double check to see if this one was unringed - LP8 was already on the nest and had to defend it.
Edited in: Ringed on left leg?
Shoo!
It went up to the perch
Off it went
It came back flying round to head up to the cam post - clearly blue ringed, left leg
LP8 clearly didn't want it there, its reaction clearly showed that throughout the intruder's visit. I'm also wondering if it was a juvenile? Cream coloured tips to its wing feathers?
At 14:32, LR0 could be heard fish calling above the cam (he has a more raspy call than LP8). With the reaction of LP8 on the 'intruder's' approach to the cam post, I'm a bit perplexed! Perhaps it was just by chance that LR0 arrived just after the intruder flew off?
