The Orange Chested Male (Now named Fenrir)

I know before I begin that this is not going to be a popular thread but then all the more reason why we should have it. 

As it looks now Orange Chested male may well be the new male in residence at Loch Garten. Of course he may not either.

However just in case he is I am starting this  thread to record his  reign right from the start.

This morning he has disposed of the remains of what was the 2015 clutch of eggs.

Now in doing so he was just exhibiting normal osprey behaviour. Male ospreys do not like raising chicks that belong to another male.

If he had been smarter and took a strategic view then he might have accepted the eggs and helped raise three chicks. However if he did he would not be an osprey. Have you ever tried to tell your cat not to kill birds? Well in my experience, admittedly from long ago, the cats did not want to know. 

So let us use this thread to record the history of this new male, just as we have done with other ospreys including Odin.

I am not yet 100% convinced that Odin is dead. Who knows he may well reappear.
