Just noticed it is Monday. It is my honor to start the new thread. Though I have not had much to contribute this season, I am nevertheless moved by the circumstances and events in the last week, not the least of which is the return of our dear ODIN.
Yesterday began with most of us resigning ourselves to OC (Orange Chest) being the new dominant male of the nest, especially after he kicked 2 eggs out of the nest, and destroyed the third in the nest cup. However, though EJ eventually accepted fish from him, she nevertheless refused to mate with him, shrugging him off time after time. Today OC brought a good sized brown trout to the nest, but promptly took off, after which a brief view of the chasing "intruder" was seen on the nest. This chasing "intruder" looked like ODIN, first mentioned by scylla, and commented upon similarly by other posters such as Moffer and Lindybird among others. Here is scylla's video of the fish and its disappearance followed by an osprey looking very much like Odin.
He did not return until late at night, caught by this video by BirdieNumNum, to our delight. We dearly hope to see him return victorious in the daylight.

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

Is that the Russian one I referred to in my post late yesterday? It used to scare the living daylights out of new vols so we had to include it in their induction.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
'' know Richard has gone but I don't know how much time he spent in the VC - in the last week of May two years ago we got a quick glimpse of him once in the space of almost a week.''
OH, CLARE, that's a revelation to me. Thanks for that
How come the live stream doesn't freeze at the same time for all of us?
Dunno BRENDA. So far it doesn't look like the pair are into egg making at the moment
I can only suppose cos it's like the sound CLARE. You might hear something but I only hear it 'later'
It was OC with a fish :-(
IMAGICAT

"Good" morning everyone again! Was here just at 5.30 and saw the fish delivery from Odin .. so pleased :-)) and then fell asleep! This is exhausting .... can't imagine how EJ and Odin must feel, their stamina is beyond belief.
Going to read back - thanks everyone for the continuous updates - so much appreciated.
OMG. Thank you SCYLLA. So where was Odin then, then?
