Hi all. Quiet on the nest (well, should be at this time of night). Normal lighting (low).
Oh dear ... I seem to have missed all the activity while I was busy .... I had to mute the sound so I could get things done :(( Thanks for the posts so I can catch up with the happenings!

EJ just preening again now- occasionally looking around,but seems unconcerned at present.
I went out of the room, when I came back 2 mins. later, he had returned with the now grubby fish still in his claw. Then he exited left with it again!
Its very quiet, now I can hear a Capercaille in the background!
Good afternoon all and thanks to each of you for keeping me up to date with what is happening on tne nest. Much as I would like to sit here all the time I had jobs to do but those are finished now and I can get down to some serious viewing. EJ on the nest alone at the moment but I did watch her for a short time this morning working on the nest. She had one large stick shaped like a V and could not make her mind up as to where it should go, moved it around several times and then eventually got it where she wanted it. From the posts and the screen capture it seems as though Odin is still at it, just making sure he has done things properly I think. Wonderful to see the sun on the ospreys again and I think it is reasonably warm at LG. It is a lovely sunny day here but the wind has been a bit chilly yesterday and again today. EJ just turned and faced the camera and what gorgeous eyes she has. She is also making quite a bit of noise at the moment, I suspect Odin will appear soon and so what he has to do yet again. As I type he has arrived back but I didn't see if he mated again.
Know this is not the right place to post about LOTL but the male has just arrived in tne nest and mated with Marge again. She has now gone back to sorting out the nest again. It must be all this warm and sunny weather.
Have a good afternoon and enjoy our ospreays.

He comes back at 13.53 - with the fish still firmly in his claw. I'm wondering if its stuck there, and he doesnt know what to do now....
He flies off again, I'm now convinced the fish is stuck in his talons as it moves with him, when he's walking on the nest.
EJ has a bit of a shout (where is that boy with my fish?), then goes for a bit of beak cleaning:
I have missed this Lindybird. Hope he can get rid of it either for himself or to EJ.
Can only think he'll have to eat it, Margobird !
