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
Hello goodbye, TWINKLE; cheerio PATILY, hope you'll be back later.

Welcome to another day in the 2015 season at LG. Yesterday was very eventful, with both resident birds seeing off determined intruder attacks. Although I get the feeling that Odin arriving with a fish and seeing off an intruder might just lead to calmer times. I wonder what today will bring but one thing is certain. EJ and Odin are an amazing pair of Ospreys.

Yes, SCYLLA - that 's right :) thank yoiu. It was a good preface (as was yourss)
Good mmoring HERON SCYLLA LIMPY MIKE -- hope I didn't miss anyone. Very comforting to see only 3 page. I have a v poorly rithg index finger today and it hurts when I type so I'm no t goigning to chance typos or grammar mistakes either.
Snow! sigh. But at least all of EJ is visible . Gloom about the Boat of Garten forecast MIKE
Good morning all. Thank you Scylla and Heron for starting the day, and for all the posts and pics. How lovely to come here and see that there have been no intruders today yet. What a change! Shame that we are still on soft focus with the cam. Snow....again :(
EJ is still calling on and off.

Missed the fish delivery, thank you SCYLLA . Lovely to read that it has been a quiet night and morning. Thank you to ALL.
Anyone listening to that kerfuffle? Can you ID the kerfufflers?
