18:10 Female (Dark Lady, no rings) is chirping, male flies to branch or ? up above, then jumps down onto her back.
18:13 Male flies off the nest. Female stays and preens.
18:21 Females sees someone coming and chirps. Male lands on her back, and she bends a little but nor much, and does not raise her tail all the way. The male stays on a few more seconds this time.
In the last two attempted matings, when the male jumps down, he does not assume a submissive posture - he raises his wings and turns back toward the female ... that is different!

The Ospreys do sit just above the cam -- one was sitting so its tail was in view.
