6:59 am Brit moves out to the left perch. I was watching closely to see if we could see her brood patch. There is a lighter area on her chest which maybe one? Edit: She has a PS and I thought she might fly.

7:05 am Brit has been doing some preening. Still not sure I am seeing the brood patch. Could be some lighter colored feathers.

7:10 am Brit continues to call out. It certainly is very foggy this morning and Brit looks beautiful on the perch with the fog in the background. She rouses her feathers. Another look at that spot.

Hard to get a picture without zooming in, but I'm seeing quite a few little birds coming in to collect feathers for their nest - nice to have maid service!
I checked back to Sandy's post and didn't see any eagle-sized activity.

Adult is on the nest - arrived about 9:57 am - thinking it's Brit, but not sure.
10:04 am
Second adult arrived with stick.
I'm expecting a phone call so may not be able to post, but will have an eye on the computer.
Added - glad you're here, Sandy!

10:10 am Brit is lying down in the nest bowl. Rey had flown after placing his stick as Judy mentioned.
10:12 am logging into both cams as Brit is lying down. Good morning, Judy.

10:16am........Good morning Judy, Sandy and all! Glad to see someone here as Brit is vocalizing and lying down in the nest. Surely eggs should come pretty soon.
I am not able to stay..........will check back later.

10:19 am Brit looks so pretty in the sunlight as she lies in the nest. She is continuing to call out softly.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2022-2023 Observation and Discussion
10:25 am Brit is up and looks down in the nest bowl. She seems to be watching for something? Then she is calling out again.
