The best that can be said about yesterday is that it was not quite as bad as the day before - and of course that our doughty couple, Odin the Magnificent and EJ the Phenomenal, retained their nest, with eggs intact as far as we can see.
Sadly, the month of May starts out badly, cam-wise, as it's been left out of focus for the night. (I know there's a bad grammatical error there, but am not going to change it.)
EJ has tried to get some sleep:
What sounded to me like a single, quiet, osprey chirp woke her up:
She tucked her head back but not long afterwards the same thing happened. She got up and checked the eggs, had a flap and went for a quick flyaround:
Interesting wing feathers as she took off with a chirp ;-)
She was back less than 20 seconds later, watchful:
Soon back on the eggs and ready for sleep:
IMAGICAT
Good morning, LIMPY, I guess you'll be off soon to Minsmere if you're not gone already.
EJ was just tweeting to herself. The rain looks steady, daycam is not going to be a pretty sight.
Just returned from kitchen to hear EJ twittering, need to replay...
EJ getting insistent, dying off, back again, looking over her shoulder, restarted calling.
Forgot to say, I was hearing a "beating" sound, almost like someone's feet stomping or wings beating fast - but it's stopped. It was very faint.
I think she must be calling (or speaking) to Odin out there in the morning gloom.
Quite persistent, monotoned, not loud.
Level raised a little.
EJ has stopped calling for a while now.
(EDIT - So obviously snow on the nest and EJ!)
Here we go again, tweet-tweet-tweet-etc-etc.
