ODIN THE MAGNIFICENT!

Well at last Odin is home, safely back with EJ, and now the season can really get under way at Loch Garten. I think Odin has caught us all out this season, turning up in the early hours of the morning.

I feel that there is still so much we do not know about Ospreys or other birds and mammals so with Odin turning up when did we should not be surprised.

As you can see from the posts yesterday he has been a busy boy - working on the nest, bringing fish to EJ and doing his thing with EJ (mating).

Now we watch and wait for the first egg - don’t you just love it? I do.

EJ has flown.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Back again with another stick and then some scraping, and flown.

She's back with yet another stick:

I love the difference Odin's return makes to her nest-building efforts - though I can't blame her for taking it easy before then.

I just missed a fish delivery, and a big fish too. I'm just not fast enough :(

I did wonder if Odin had brought a fish - thanks for that!

He's hard at work:
