I can hear an Osprey in the back ground.

Unknown said: Lynette, the problem is that Odin has been around and eating g fishing just not sharing them but eating them himself. Very very unlikely to have another nest. When you see him particularly last week he had clearly been battling intruders for days as he was not in tiptop condition. He has been around every day and when you don't see him and EJ is calling he is there.

Oh dear. The drama continues. Just when we think things have calmed down Fenrir reappears!!!! Although it's all very sad, it is compulsive watching. Over the years we have invested a lot of emotion towards this nest and its occupants and we want to see it turn out well. Whether it will or not - only time will tell. As someone said the other day "nature in the raw"
Oh no, indeed, and as Lmac said, there were plural intruders!

Lynette the blog yesterday is the best understanding of what is going on from those who are there. My answer is just my surmising and should in no way be taken as the reason but Jen does note his behaviour and is quite specific that he is around, which I think was your question. so best to read that as generally we are seeing little except the view on a pc.
I still reckon that Fenrir was in the cam tree the other morning when EJ gave the same response as she did today. It was early before the VC was open. If WE have trouble telling Odin and Fenrir apart, then the volunteers may have had too. EJ knew that it wasn't Odin. I'm not criticising anyone, just mistakes are made. It's just human. (It would also explain why the fish stopped arriving too)

Bird sitting on the edge of the nest don't know which one it is, hopefully EJ has had enough of incubating and gone off to feed herself
