I've certainly enjoyed these photos Scylla , thank you.
Is there a particular reason you've chosen png files instead of jpg s ? BTW
Funny you should mention the PNG aberration, CIRRUS - I noticed it a day or two ago and think I fixed it this morning, but have no idea why it happened.

Wow! No wonder you included the milliseconds, JILL - I first started looking for it on aerial rollback because I'm not downloading that cam - no chance! Then when I found it on my download of the landscape cam I could see why.
Someone needs to PhotoShop this into a decent photo:
I'm glad to read an adult male Osprey can see a floppin Goshawk off Jill, But, I wonder if a female Goshawk would scarper so easily.
It’s always been at the back of my mind that a goshawk may come back to this nest. I hope the three youngsters migrate very soon.

I expect closer followers this season already know there's probably a whole family of squirrels in the nest - evidence of 3 early this morning:
I found TWO fish - but the first was lost by the winner

Baby squirrels!
I saw both the juvies in the morning but no adults all day - they may have slipped thru the frames cos it's late, I'm tired and going too fsst! :(((

5H3 started out quite early:
Eventually a long wait at lunchtime was rewarded with a fish from mama CJ7, what a lovely surprise! Then 022 brought a fish but found no takers, then he brought a stick and took a while to place it and had a look around and then flew way off up thru the timeline but I don't think it's showing up in the final version:
5H5 not seen all day, this was the only Osp I couldn't ID for certain, it didn't stay long and didn't land on the nest:
