Daily Update ~ Loch Garten Nest ~ Sunday, 10 May 2015

Tiger 10/05/2015 07:24

Well not unexpectedly the season came to an end on Saturday morning when the intruding male broke the final egg.

As EJ is still in brooding mode she is still spending a lot of time on the nest brooding non existent eggs.

It now remains to be seen what will happen next. A variety of things could happen but as always with ospreys they will usually surprise us.

I guess the only way to find out is to keep watching.

How very discreet Clare !! LOL.

Most unlike me!

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

There's been discussion this morning about whether OC is simply too young and inexperienced for EJ.

Can anyone remember how Odin behaved when he first arrived (I believe it was 2009)?

That is exactly my point now that she doesn't have anyone would she join forces with a male that she prefers to get rid one of one she doesn't want.

Here you are. We have a male

A huge sigh of relief that it was not Orange VS

The blog described him in very complimentary terms - 'it looks like this boy means business' were Richard's words at the time.

How awful it is to see that empty nest after everything was looking so good only a week ago.

Many thanks Tiger and Clare for the info.

Edit: Oh gosh, it made me quite sad reading Richard's blog (see Tiger's link). It was like seeing Odin again. Odin was obviously showing his wonderful devoted character right from the start - nothing like the current newbie.

Was he any worse than OC? I feel kind of sorry for a bird who didn't seem to merit any mourning for his non-appearance, not even his own thread (correct me if I'm wrong on that!).

Those eggs sitting there so folornly remind me of a similar site at Rutland last year. How things have changed so let's take heart from that.
