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.
This one is Fenrir and he's defending the nest from EJ's back:
He has flown.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Lots of alarm calling going on.
Odin ? on EJ's back. I couldn't get pic. Screen became distorted !!!
I think it was Fenrir on EJ's back. Odin was the previous bird.
I think second is odin too the front of the head is darker but as I've no real idea I am probably wrong

I've got the 1028 landing, MOFFER - although, strangely enough your snap above is missing (glitched out) and in its place I have this one:
It's the 10:37 landing I'm missing, which is what your original snap was 'labelled' :-/
IMAGICAT
Was it not 1137 Scylla
Afternoon all, well with being in the garden yesterday, had to get the chores done today. Just caught up since tea time and all today's thread. What a record yesterday with the posts on the DU updates. Little wonder there was so much to follow and try to get your head around!! What will happen today? Thanks once more for all the posters in the wee small hours and to all who post throughout the day. This is my first year following the DU updates (made my guess return for EJ last year, but to be honest was not aware of this daily post). Now I am hooked, thank goodness I have an iPad to keep up with, it is so much easier that getting the computer on. Let's follow our lovely couple today.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
