Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
EJ being buffeted hard by the wind - in spite of her huge size, it looks as if she almost has to hang on. Hope the weather improves at LG soon.

EJ still alone on the nest: she is either determined to guard it, after all that hard work redecorating and furniture moving, or she is waiting for Odin to reappear.
Odin made two quick "visits" about 4pm.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
AND she's off, just as I got sat back down.
I must have missed Odin, darn it!
Afternoon everyone. Thank you for keeping us so well informed during the course of the day. I started watching last year later on in the season and missed all the courtship proceedings which seem more protracted and haphazard than I would have expected from an 'established' couple. Makes you realise how much more must be happening away from the nest which we can't see. Love the idea of the stick indicating that the nest is 'reserved'. Thank you for your kind comment Cirrus. Nest is empty at the moment.
Hi Emma Peel,Nice to meet you.
It is exciting and so addictive.
EJ is still on the nest by herself and the wind is is getting a tad stronger
