Well Thursday was certainly a roller coaster day!
What will today bring, well I am glad that it is Friday the 12, and not Friday the 13th!
Lets hope that EJ and Odin settle down to domestic bliss and we have an egg to coo over soon!!!
Let today be the day that Nora White 03(08) flies into Dyfi and puts the handsome Monty out of his misery!
Also would good to hear from Rutland if 5N (04) has found a mate too!
Maybe Friday will be the day that it all happens, then we can go and have a real happy weekend.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
That nest cup looks more like a hole now!!! LOL The chicks certainly won't fall out of that! Maybe it is just a reflection of that big clump of moss!
True VAL. It looks so deep this morning
Last year's hole was deep as well. As I watched the chicks, though, I can appreciate why!
Odin really is such a lovely looking bird:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Lindylou nice to see you here.:-) For the record, Scylla does hours of recording for us here, and it's great when she can actually pop in to say anything. We do keep to the strict facts when it's busy.

He's skydancing!
Thanks Brenda:-)
Here's Odin relaxing with his fish
I'm not sure if he was actually skydancing or alarm calling as I can no longer hear him.
He's back again, still holding that fish!
Have just read Brenda's link above.
Now I never imagined them producing a pellet. But I guess it's common sense, with all those fish bones - some of which would be quite tough and indigestible.
