I am bringing forward an event from yesterday because the cam is down and the transmission ended on a cliffhanger.
There had been an intruder who was dealt with by both EJ and Odin, but the intruder returned - EJ suddenly cried out and flew off... and then the cam went down @ 1844hr.
We can only hope that the Centre will fill us in.
IMAGICAT
Limpy, I just compared the underwing area of the intruder with Scylla's 'clump' video of Odin on the previous page. Odin doesn't have a spot on the underwing or on the top of the leg. Too many things not right. I wonder who it is...
Evening whoever is still out there!
Thanks Limpy, Scylla, CC, Clare, mims and whoever else posted today, very much enjoyed catching up just now - especially the Odin tuftyboy video, and the Russian hat delivery!
The Odin lookalike intruder is curious... there is an outside chance I guess that it could be one of the unringed chicks from 2010?

Hi Chocoholix you could be right Clare and I were talking about that earlier that It could be one of the three Ospreys from the nest of 2010.

It just struck me while watching the clip that although EJ was very firm in seeing him off sharpish, she didn't seem particularly aggressive or alarmed, and pretty quickly settled again. I guess we can only speculate on that one!

THANK YOU, Deveronside!!!
Here is the bird that intruded 3 times on 24 April - if only he had landed on our side :-(
Today's intruder:
As you all say - not Odin, that's for sure. I must look!
I don't think they are the same bird, unless the underwing dots were bleached out on 24 April.
Coincidentally (?) both dates the intrusions took place around 2000hr.
