Daily Update Wednesday 6th May 2015.

Much Quieter at Loch Garten .
 
Yesterday was much quieter at Loch Garten with just a little showing of the intruder which Odin seems to have dealt with not too much fuss.
Yesterday was sadly a very wet day for EJ and she did look so uncomfortable.
Odin was last seen on the nest at 07:54. And has not been seen at the nest for sixteen hours so where is he?
 
The start of a new day EJ is sitting on the eggs and it looks like it has stopped raining.
And all is very quiet on the nest and still no sign of Odin.

  • I'm not say that Cirrus just wondering if there was confusion amongst birds in the air and who is chasing who and maybe not odin chasing silver ring or vis versa. It's all very confusing

  • Unknown said:

    That's my point there are currently two other males in the vicinity could one of these at a distance of been confused as odin

    I.e. We have no Odin....I find it strange that he has not once touched down on the nest in almost 30 hours if he is there

    Scylla and I came to the same conclusion Lmac. The white male does look a lot like Odin, and if only the night staff saw him briefly, they could have been mistaken. The photo on OO FB was changed from Odin to Intruder.

    Why  would Staff say Odin has been around if he hasn't

    Perhaps because they were not long on duty and hadn't got their ducks in a row.  I sincerely hope that that comment will elicit confirmation that Odin is indeed in the area.

    EJ is now calling, it's getting harder to tell if she's intruder-alarming or soliciting.

  • Pity that photo from LG of the intruder didn't include its feet!

    Hopefully LG have got some snaps and we get some clarity about the bto ring as in my opinion, it is virtually impossible to definately make out if there is a darvic ring with the current view we have.

  • Hi all, been here reading with ever sinking heart.  If you recall during that week of intrusion which got really bad on 28/29 April, white chest male, who some of us called Odin look-alike, did have a BTO ring on the right leg.  I reckon it is the same two back again.  Orange Chest and White Chest/Odin Lookalike.
    I am still having very intermittent sound, grr.
