Another routine day, with last night's snow having hampered our devoted couple not at all.
"Routine"... it might sound boring, but the activity on this nest at the beginning of this season is the most reassuring I've seen in my short LG-watching career.
IMHO the PM hole has to be a slight concern, if only because it seems to be preventing EJ and Odin (especially Odin) from making up their minds on the nestcup position. The clumps that filled the hole didn't last long. So that's something to keep us on our toes... where will the nestcup be?
Not a lot of glare on the nest tonight, thank you HQ :-) This particular view is rather nice because you can see the birds' shadow on the "next door" tree in as they fly to the nest. But nobody's obliged yet tonight.

Someone just startled me out of my wits, flapping onto the nest and chirping a couple of times. They're looking over the back, must have seen the PM - it's Odin.
Flown.
Now it's EJ's turn to fly in, followed by Odin, Odin flew in again followed by EJ, he flew off and back, need to figure out what's going on but am doing Starr Ranch spider ;-)
Odin's back for a mating.
Morning Scylla and everyone
Empty nest for now.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023

Now we've just had a mating, piccy to follow.
That was the second mating of the morning. Poor EJ had her face well and truly rubbed into the ground:
