Odin has landed with a fish piece. He stands and waits for EJ.
From not feeding her at all to two fish before 9am!!

I don't want to speculate Moffer!
Despite no eggs last year or this, it doesn't seem that BlueXD has come looking for his old girlfriend, rather he has focussed on defending his own nest and mate. But with more disruption at Loch Garten I guess any one of a number of scenarios could happen yet...

Back on - I've no willpower. Re development with Blue XD and Green J - honestly, that's the last thing the LG nest needs. As if we haven't had enough trouble already this year. So that will be something else to worry about for next season. Just another thought - EJ has been away for fairly long spells recently. I wonder if there's the remotest chance that she's been renewing her acquaintance with her old flame - although I really doubt it, because she's been very receptive to Odin's advances. This is all getting very complicated.

After a failed season here there is no guarantee that EJ and/or Odin will return next year. What will be will be. If however they do Blue XD was not a good provider for EJ, Odin at least has a good track record.
Hello again Oldshoremore, good to see you - I don't blame you one bit for not being able to stay away :)
