Daily Updaters who weren't here yesterday are strongly recommended to visit pages 4, 5 and 6 of yesterday's DU, where those who were active posted scrumptious captures of Odin the Magnificent posing on branches (and perhaps some hazy, distant views of EJ) - the result of a second day of delights provided by Jen and her team at the Centre.
It was a day when EJ was in danger of losing her voice, despite getting a piece of fish fairly early on; and a day of more bonding - keep it up, you two, to be even stronger next season.
It was also a day when we needed LG to be "good", as we poignantly heard of happy events at other nests which EJ and Odin will forego this year.
IMAGICAT
Thanks for all the pics and posts over the last couple of days.

Camera showing the trees but picture is so bad I can't ID which osprey is in the trees.
Morning fellow ospreyholics, lovely to know that all is peaceful at LG today and that our pair continue to enjoy each other's company. Well maybe not when EJ chews Odin's ear off! This time next year we will hopefully be celebrating the arrival of our 2016 bobbleheads and we still have the pleasure of watching our gorgeous pair for the rest of this season. Lots to look forward to. :)
Odin?
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
Yep , agree MOFFER
Cam did a quick pan around, no sign of EJ so back to Odin.
OVERNIGHT and EARLY MORNING
(I swear that we are back on OPTION 1)
0343 - Odin eyes the egg!
He just stood looking around, peered, left... a lovely sight (sound lagging?):
Pixellated daycam 0411 (if you needed a clue that we're back on Option 1):

0420hr Odin is back, a couple of little pipes, checks and nestorises a little:
0442-0520hr - Fascinating activity - EJ and, especially, Odin are starting their season anew :o
18 clips herein, if you don't watch it, watch out if you tell me so ;-D And, blurry tho it often is, I do think we would have missed a lot altogether on the higher-quality Option 2.
A little trip:
Nestorising:
Another go at that egg!
Left, right and centre. (But it didn't work!)
Booful boy is in charge :-*
They did touch base!
Reallly nice ones of Odin SCYLLA - and extraordinary videos !!!! :(
No chicks now please
But, no fish this am (sadly)
Wow, that was amazing Scylla. Thank you for the vid and snaps, and thank you Birdsong for bringing it to our attention.
Odin feels confident enough to try to kick egg out with EJ watching!!! several times. Mating too.
If it saves them building a frustration nest, it's all good.
Odin is still in the distant tree. No sign of EJ.
Distant alarm calling. Odin has flown
