Yesterday was a good day for seeing Odin and EJ, and some wonderful captures of both ospreys we posted on the DU.
We should all thank the cam operator at Loch Garten which enabled us to get some good shots of EJ and Odin.
Well a new day has started and all is very quiet on the nest in fact you guess it ENS.
I hope we will have much the same today panning the cam around LG.

Good luck Moffer.
Birdies LG DU update.
Odin has landed with a full crop and a fish tail:)
He looks around for EJ and leaves a couple of minutes later.

It's Odin:
Is that a fish in his right foot?
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
He's off:
I'm off now. BBL
See you later, Moffer. Hope it goes OK.
Good morning, all! :-)
CATCH-UP
The lens has a resident, hope it's not too efficient a web-spinner:
Odin skydanced @ 0313-ish, landed @ 0314, flapped around, left after a minute or two:
More skydancing and back again @ 0322 - stood at the back of the nest and somehow made a broomstick stick up:
Then pranced and flapped, full of the joys of July:
Off he went @ 0338hr
Even more skydancing before landing with his face in the cam @ 0356hr - there was a glitch between his feet appearing and this shot:
Following a distorted, baleful glimpse:
We were treated to a series.
Oh what a sharp beak you have, Odin :o
Oh what a sweet face:
Then he turned his back and stood over the nestcup for a while, then to the back of the nest, looking out, during which time DAYCAM 0414hr:
A couple of flaps:
He left @ 0421, after which time the story was picked up by others:
IMAGICAT
Good to have you with us Scylla.
Thanks, Mike. How unreliable I am! Can't seem to stabilise :-/

Perhaps a little more water in the Gin ??!!! LOL.
Just relax and let things take their course.
