In just over four hours time (5:04 am) it will be the summer solstice. A real pivotal point in the year. From today forward the days will grow shorter and we know what that means. Enjoy the ospreys while we can because it will be a long wait until they return.

EJ feeding one of the chicks. The other one seems totally disinterested or full up!.
Birdies LG DU update.
Tiger, did you have to remind us? I must say it feels really strange reaching the solstice without having had a summer.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Odin arrived with a fish at 7.58. EJ ignores and does not move towards fish. One of the chicks pecks at fish. Odin waits a few seconds then flies off. Good morning everybody and yes Tiger, nights a drawing in now!

Never mind the fish, let's all preen:
Good morning *eek*. I'm off to check overnight and morning recordings.
I was locked out with ERROR last night.
DAYCAM 0406hr
EJ's first break of the daytime morning:
.
EJ returns after (...)
FISH per Odin @ 0620hr !!!!!!!!!!!
LOOK AT THE FEATHERS ON WOTTADIN'S WING!
EJ finishing off fish, ODIN COMES @ 0705hr for it but there's NONE LEFT! He potters and leaves empty-taloned :-(
FISH @ 0757hr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT EJ TURNS HER NOSE UP AT IT ;-)
IMAGICAT
Hi, Scylla - I sincerely hope that this unusually late appearance from you meant you slept well?
Good morning, All. Unusual for those on the nest to be disinterested in fish!
He's brought the fish back:
They're definitely interested this time!
EJ just before the fish re-delivery - perhaps she was making more space?
Fish return @ 0830hr
I'm a bit slow this morning (what's new?).
=======================================
CORRECTION!
FISH @ 0830 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Headless because Odin didn't get any of the first delivery, this is the second of the day. Bit of feed included.
