It is a huge privilege to start this new thread, especially after a day like yesterday.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother, father, all ospreys worldwide and Tiger for drawing in his claws and stepping back.
I wish us all a less confused day of watching and attempting to interpret, and EJ and Odin the very best luck in the world in their defence of the most famous Osprey nest in the world.
Greetings all fellow 'midnighters'.
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.
Just popping back in.
I think that the blog is saying that OC and BB are the same bird. I think that the name is so sad so will call him FEN.
The bird that landed just now was ODIN!!!!! (I think) lol
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
So, BB = Fenrir and OC still = orange chest, plus there is Odin.
OH, just seen Moffer's post.....

I'm recording while doing jobs, and come running if I hear anything. Trouble is that I am getting a lot of freezes so am missing much not sitting here. I'll do my best.

It must be said that I now have no faith left in whatever ID-ing skills I have!!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
MOFFER, Ithought BB had a much whiter chest than OC. Just a trick of the light, maybe?

They don't mention a second intruder Brenda, so they are saying one new male, FEN .
