Just noticed the time so thought I'd be a chancer and start the new thread before heading off to bed :)
All's quiet on the Western Front, and on the LG nest. In this strange light the nest looks as if it has quite a deep bowl and the sides are much higher now. EJ and Odin must have realised that it's time to get down to some serious nest building as eggs will be here soon. Nice to see that Odin is remembering to bring his lady red roses (well red spagnum moss, but it's the nearest he could find.)
Thank you so much for today's updates, which i have just caught up with.
Alicat - Fascinating (altho worrying) report about the pine marten, thank you for that and also for planning to watch again tonight. Our computers are in one of the bedrooms here, but there are times that I so wish for a laptop that I could have on the bed beside me when I am reading late into the night!
Evening Lindybird and I am happy now the cam is OK. Lovely capure of a very handsome boy.
EJ on nest now and calling and I am sure Odin is calling back to her or perhaps he is asking her to be quiet for a wnile. Have a good evening.

Sounds like crows flying over.
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
I've just been fed and watered and back to see EJ sittng alone on the nest. I can hear a crow calling from above the nest and she is watching it intently. Goshawk sitting just off the nest on a branch preening. Can see an egg.
EJ calling non urgently. Just the usual whine lol

Odin returns empty handed and arranges the twigs, A quick squeak or two he flies off and returns immediately to mate.He flies off again shortly followed by EJ.
An empty nest again.
EJ back followed by Odin, mating, he;s off, no fish. Ej immediately sets to work on nest. Wonder if they were eating off camera.
I can hear an osprey calling off camera!!
Odin has just landed followed by Ej/ Mated. Night Vision is on so it seems strange. They are still sitting together on the nest. Wrong.. Odin has just flown off and EJ i still there.
EJ still sitting on nest. I wonder how dark it can be before they can't fly!!?? She's preening and looking about. and doing that "whatever" thing with her neck!! Now she is squeaking and I think Odin must be nearby because I heard a "nearby noise"". It could be the pine marten of course. HOw many are going to stay up to see if they can catch it on camera????
