All is very quiet on the on the nest at the moment with EJ resting.
Thanks for starting the new DU, Limpy. Here's hoping EJ and Odin get a more peaceful day today. It was quite amazing and at times humbling, to watch how they defended their nest from what looked like extremely determined intruders. I personally feel that less experienced Ospreys would have lost ownership of that nest by now. I call them Odin The Magnificent, and EJ The Phenomenal, for very good reasons. EJ's on her eggs but awake just now.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Hiya chaps, I'm here :-) I've got my thick skin on to stand with EJ and Odin and take what comes. If only they knew ;-)

This was snapped a few minutes ago (I was locked out) but she looks exactly the same now - can't say 'miserable', she's toughing it out (my new fave expression). It sounds very wet and very windy, and the hum has a different character and is louder.
Egg check:
The wind is sounding terrible but that may be merely because it's directing itself into the mike.
Good morning Scylla.
Birdies LG DU update.
Morning MIKE - I just had to reboot for a big slowdown :-(
EJ calling, sounds anxious.
That didn't last long but I think I have heard some very, very tiny peeps since.
Alert, watchful (she's looking over her shoulder now):
