Last night when I started the DU thread I thought it might almost be the last one of the year. Little I knew that come morning EJ would be back incubating the egg.
EJ did spend most of the day on the egg but has now abandoned it again.
So we reach 22 May traditionally the last day for egg laying in the osprey season in Scotland. It is hard to believe that the egg laying season is over for another year and the hatching is about to begin. The male ospreys are going to have a hard time for the next one hundred or so days.
For once Odin will be excused.

Coffee time.
Happy viewing, off to get myself out the door for work. Hope EJ appears in our line of sight soon.
Hi all. EJ left last night at 20.41.
I looked in several times during the night but didn't see anyone. What a shame that Odin didn't bring that big headless fish yesterday. Thanks for all the reports, pics and vids this morning.

Too true, it's frustrating and sad, especially when you listen to him :'(
I won't be here much today. Lots of stuff that I've been putting off to do.
I hope that I see EJ before I have to go out. Odin doesn't know where she is either :(

Now where have we heard that before Moffer? ! LOL
Birdies LG DU update.
oooh poor Odin - what a wasted effort that turned out to be :-(!
Good morning everybody - thanks for the overnight info/pics/vids. Hope this isn't the end of activity for this season :-(.
If Odin's been catching fish like THAT - and then sitting off on his perch eating it - it's no wonder that we've heard EJ screeching her head off while watching him when she's been very hungry recently :-O. To think that all she's had in the past few days, is a couple of 'tail-ends' - naughty Odin!

Morning all! Thank you Scylla for the two Odin vids, he is looking on fine form isn't he?
Belated thank you to Birdie Num Num, only just caught up on yesterday's thread, and loved your EJ & Odin video, the music really gave the whole thing a fantastic feel too.
Looking at almost empty nest - the egg has survived a very long time alone without being predated by a pine marten or a crow... maybe nothing even of interest for them either?
