Ok now that all the predictions for EJ's arrival are finished it is time to start predictions for Odin.
So three things
1. Date
2. Time
3. Will he have a fish?
Predictions should close at midnight on March 31st/1st April
Then the form for Odin For previous years see 2013 and 2012
Tiger Signature
April 3rd
18.00 hrs
No fish
Safe and sound, all that matters:-)
I will go for April 2nd 16.45 with a fish to present to EJ!
April 3rd at 2:oo pm with gift of fish for EJ.
So, we know that BlueXD is still in north-west Africa somewhere just emerging from the Sahara. It seems it took 30(05) from Rutland around 8-9 days to get home from around that latitude and she was really going fast. So if Odin manages to get back around the dates he's arrived in most other years, eg 2-3 April (he was a bit later last year) he should beat BlueXD to his missus!!!

Chocoholix thank you for that uplifting thought:-))
Though I admit I've got a bit of a soft spot for BlueXD!
Let's hope Chocoholix is right and Odin gets back first.
Wonderful news that EJ is back is again and now the wait for her better half! I am with Rita, Mary and Lmac
1st April

With fish.
The start of a great new season - and with a posh camera to view the goings-on in the nest. Should be great entertainment.

Are you sure that you are not indulging in wishful thinking? Didn't 30 (05) not take about 13 days in total.
Maybe I've miscalculated Tiger, but I was looking at her location around 16-17 March on the Rutland site which seems around the same latitude BlueXD has reached? So it's taken 30 about 8 days from there, and that was just as far as Rutland
