Morag incubating egg, Seveny lands on top of her with large stick, she slowly gets up with stick laying across her back..Seveny clumsily moves his two left feet....what a klutz...his stick fetish is worse than dear auld Tam's
daffy Seveny doesn't even realize how this may damage the egg.
Morag puts large stick in place settles down to incubate and he's back on top of her mating, raising herself off the egg once again...time she laid down the law, to this young osprey.!!! on "whats"' appropriate behaviour during her incubation phase....
cam zoomed in to check on egg status...intact once again




morag needs' eyes in the back of her head to keep ahead of seveny's clumsy antic's :blink:

seveny's back a litlle better landing...minus sticks, Morag waits and watches him for a bit, then flys' off. He slowly is somewhat settled down on nest bowl, but fidgets and raises up off nest bowl every wee while. I think being his first time as a new father, and incubating an egg so, I'll cut him some slack.

Seveny up off nest bowl. Morag back @ 5.04pm mate takes off.. Oh no not another stick he's building a fortress, the nest has more than enough timber!!
he's off again, heres' hoping its' a fishing trip...time he ate too :dry:
no wonder Morag has extra work with all these new sticks to arrange, he's not giving her much peace to incubate. :dry:
cam zooms in for yet another egg check after seveny rises from egg, though he did incubate for awhile, so thats good

Hi Jazzel always a pleasure having you drop by, she's quite the grand lady indeed. Though her new mate Seveny is obessed with bringing in sticks, its nerve wracking watching him land and drop stick on top of Morag
she's got her work cut out for her with this young whipper snapper

Seveny back @ 5.58.pm Morag flys' up onto perch, she's keeping a close eye on him and their egg, before she leaves to fish. Seveny rearranges sticks and its' a slippery slope getting back down to nest bowl. He's fidgeting inside nest bowl, hasn't settled down to incubate yet and Morag still perched on look out limb, she's preening herself, but obviously watching mate at same time
He's flown the coop, leaving Morag on the lurch...limb
Mama's down digging nest bowl, settled down incubating precious egg
