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
Did Odin leave or was he pushed LOL
20.29 until 9.14pm. Odin didn't quite have an hour on the eggs.
EJ calling. I don't think Odin will go fishing now, EJ
Nearly night cam time. It got dusk really quickly.
Good night all. See you tomorrow.

You and I are not perfectly synchronised, HERON, but we knew that already, didn't we? :-*
NIGHTCAM 2132hr
Thank you, everyone, for all the reports and pics, thank you BIRDIE for the vids, not watched them yet but will do :-)
Glad to see that EJ and Odin got some peace eventually. So, the intrusions have diminished two days running, let's hope they dwindle to none tomorrow!
Odin on the eggs, EJ brings a big stick and 'tails' Odin off the nest :o
Thanks Mike but when I looked after posting the clock had righted itself. Jumped in a bit quick then but at least I know what to do if it happens again.
Nice to see her more settled and contented. Thanks for updates , vids and pics.
