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:

Odin has flown

15.34 Odin lands, but before he can do anything EJ returns!
He appeared to leave in a hurry, but I don't have sound, and EJ is not 'bovvered'.

I do wonder why EJ very rarely lets Odin sit on the eggs, unless he brings a fish. Maybe she thinks he should be fishing, if he has got nothing else to do !!
LOL Brenda. Perhaps she considers it the woman's role in the family, and fishing is Odin's!!
So pleased that it has been a lot less stressful for them
EJ looks settled
It seems to be a quieter day today, hopefully the intruders have finally got the message - THIS NEST IS TAKEN.
EJ looks relaxed and has been preening - a feather to the forefront a givaway

Glad to hear its been a lot quieter today for our osprey pair. Lovely bit of sunshine!
EJ on and off dozing and looking contented
What I've noticed is that the clock has not been changed - read 1 hr on. Forget what I said, clock seems to right itself on posting.
My clock is fine Lynette, but a lot of people's time is out.
How lovely to have a peaceful nest :)
