The saga of Loch Garten 2015 is far from over. We now have a name for the new male Finrir but the battle for Loch Garten goes on.
We will see what a new day brings.

I too hope for Odin to return, and so does EJ I think.
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
Back again for a bit - thanks Moffer for the heads up on the blog. After reading it, I really can't see Odin reclaiming the nest now. He was obviously seriously rebuffed before, when he was missing, and he's not being dominant now. As Sheila says, perhaps it's Blue ring who is the problem.
Whatever happens, I would rather Odin stayed alive and uninjured, than come to harm by fighting for this nest. He has proved himself to be a fantastic father, and I would like to think he'll be around SOMEWHERE to raise a brood next year, even if it's not here.
I sorta agree with you Oldshoremore, it is the better of the two options, but...!
Rachel's blog said that their last sighting of Odin was yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 12 May). My notes suggest that our last sighting on the nest was about five past three, when Odin delivered a fish and flew off with it. Presumably because Blue band had arrived.

I something nibbling at the 'stuffing' in the mic, or taking the stuffing?
I think that VLC/Carnyx (don't know which, I'm running both) has a few seconds delayed sound. EJ was tapping the bark, aww she's so hungry :(
Update from Rachel was terrific but it wont let me comment, says there was an error! Official news is always brilliant though this forum is super, Without it I'd get my planned paintings actually started!!
Gives me a lump in my throat :(
