I hope that none of these female intruders were Lady! Not sure how adept new crew will be in identifying or attempting to in a situation such as this:

You know, when I look @ Lassie right now all I feel is concern for her. If this is pre-egg laying behavior, I just wish it could be over for her. Will have to stay up now to see if she perks up by daylight. I have never seen her look like this. :eggsad:

Feel better now. She had a full stretch of a wing and is standing on one leg now and I could see strength! Lassie get in the cup and lay the dang egg!

Bore da
A day after she arrived, Glesni caught this whale of a mullet.
As with many bird of prey species, female ospreys are larger than males and can therefore catch slightly bigger prey. Any fishermen in the house? How big is this mullet?
We reckon this size of fish is right on the limit of what an osprey can successfully catch and pull clean out of the water (look away if you're squeamish).

2350CDST :flirty: I wanted to get here soon enough to watch Laddie see his egg for the 1st time ... missed it ... but, he's incubating now ... while she preens @ the nest. Knew he would be here sometime after 5am! Shortly before the egg was laid earlier, I came in and noticed her tamping the nest bowl with her feet along the bottom and up the sides and knew her time was near. And in flies Laddie to mate, but landing a little too high on her back, standing there for awhile, before she gently tipped him up and off. He stood on the side of the nest bowl looking @ her a minute and it seemed to dawn on him that something was up. So he gently crept down the side of the bowl with his talons curled to prevent breakage and had a look, but no egg. So up he comes and off he flies for the night! Within minutes, she laid their first egg and probably the first in her life! :eggsmile:
