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.

I thought as much, LIMPY.
Today has been a lesson to me - some people post in Gabfest but hardly ever do in the DU, and some people post in the Gabfest and see things there and think it's been posted here too... CLARE ;-) I don't blame you, I have no idea how you keep up with so many threads :o
I am now going for a coffee, although it's on my mind that I never did time EJ's first break this morning and the post has been left with dots in ;-)

3.5mins. Odin sounds the alarm, chicks aware, Wottadin is first to get head right down. Intruder gets too near nest, EJ goes into repel mode. Birds can be seen flying over and around, but some is Odin and some the unidentifiable intruder. I wondered at one point if the wings look un-osprey-like ???
TOP RIGHT:
Something just flew by the nest and has upset EJ
Odin just gave a brief alarm call. Osplets still down.
Odin calling again.
Odin had a brief alarm call, but EJ merely looked around her, and an osplet roused enough to stretch a wing and show a leg.
EJ continues to keep an eye up in the sky, but no more calling.
Got to go now to take my daughter and myself to the doctors SYAL.
EJ now alarm calls and mantles, looking above.
Edit: hope all goes well for you and Helen, Limpy.
EJ screaming at something above.
