STILL MISSING

As a new morning begins Odin the Magnificent is still missing - I am sure we would all like to know that he is alive and safe.

Yesterday was much the same - intruders still harassing EJ on the nest, lack of fish.

While EJ is still defending the nest and the eggs the lack of food must be telling on her. This is now becoming very serious for EJ and her eggs. I am saddened at what is happening - this shows how nature can be so cruel.

It does seem that EJ is allowing one of the males to defend her on the nest, but he needs to bring EJ a fish and EJ needs to accept the fish.

I dread to think where this is all heading. Not even a wise man would try to predict where this is going and I certainly would not even try.

So as for our new bird OC we will have to watch closely

As we start a new day with EJ sitting on the eggs all is quiet for the time being.

So who knows what today will bring? Hopefully at least a fish and maybe a miracle.

It is with a very heavy heart I written this this post.

He can't kick the third one out. Keeps trying.

Oh no! How sad, just what we feared might happen. What a shame. So sad for them both.

Your post was at 7.05pm MOFFER. Blog says it was 19.13. Seven of us commented or posted nest captures. I can't see that not one of us spotted him returning 8mins later.

This is what I posted at 2.39pm in answer to MOFFER"S query, about EJ eating a fish on the nest last Wednesday.
