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:

Oh I wasn't helping just visiting a friend who was helping out on the coldest of weeks.
Not "on duty" till mid June...longer warmer days I hope.

Wendy It is nice to visit, and even better to find someone you know is around!
I hope EJ takes a decent break from the nest.

It's a lovely place to visit as the Centre staff are a few from other years and new enthusiasts.
Jen has her handle on it and Nimrod is a funny bright addition...
Wendy, I would have thought they would have got you working, as they are short handed and you are an experienced volunteer.
Darn twiggy bits! Bless him moving it all. EJ will just move it back :)
Just can't quite get comfy. Moved around a bit more.Pull a few sticks about. That's better.
