Morning all. Well, looks like we've got an exciting day tomorrow, whoops, today UK time, with some people (like me) maybe seeing Super Odin for the first time this year (or ever). For those who missed it, BigRab caught Odin's arrival and Emma Peel posted it on yesterday's Daily Upate - thanks so much Emma - and BigRab - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4EoYaRO6js Haven't had time to watch it myself yet!
Empty nest at LG (and, she whispered, no cam at all at LOTL).

What is going on in the pictures ? Mating or a fight ?
See Auntie's capture. My image froze at that point, then when I got it back again, Odin had gone.
Not a fight - didn't last long enough! :-) More like the osprey version of a quickie! Not sure how succesful though. Oooh. And we have color.
I think it was mating attempt, not sure though
Oh Wow. And here he is - and went - again. Sooooo fast. That was mating, right? EJ looks as if she's a bit confused by it all too..... ("You mean I flew all the way from Africa for that?")
i missed that mating, but he just came back for an aerial second one,

Odin was back for another try. He has more on his mind other than fishing and I think EJ is hungry LOL
I think Odin has forgotten the proper protocol. He's supposed to bring her a fish and then have his way with her. EJ isn't reacting like it was an attack from another osprey, though, so I assume it was the mighty Odin.
