My first DU starter for the 2015 season. What can I say?
EJ and Odin are very happy together... fishing is good... nestorising is going really well... the weather is fine... tonight there's no glare on the nest !!!
What is there to worry about?
There's a hole in the nest.
IMAGICAT
Just skimmed thru the past several hours, no visitors or intruders.
Goodnight. I'll be very late back!
5:43 and EJ flies to the nest. 1 day I will learn how to record the video, but don't hold your breath.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
Good Morning to all, Scylla and Cringer have gone now.
A nice introduction to today's update Scylla. All is well yes, although we have headless birds at the moment LOL.... and that hole!!!
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Oh, and by the way I have sound, EJ is chirruping from time to time and a chaffinch is singing close to the nest tree.
Oh you are back Cringer :-) Yes I can hear the chaffinch too, faintly!
The reports of my sudden demise were greatly exaggerated :-)
I also hear wren, coal tit and the occasional jackdaw as well as the soothing gulls on LG.
A nice skill to have is to tell birds by their chirps, there are only a few that I recognise I am afraid.
Poor EJ - this looks more like a very rough oil painting :-)
Its just practice.
EJ now food soliciting for the last few minutes so my guess is Odin is somewhere close. Sound is a real boon to behavioural interpretation - and can be a warning of impending action. I have missed it lots - even EJs nagging!
Yes the sound is sorely missed, and I think mine has just gone again.
Maybe Odin is taking the head off the fish for EJ :-)
