Remember Fenrir kicked all eggs out in double quick time, that one in particular. I wonder if it is now absorbed moisture and is heavier.
Could be possibly Lmac. Every time Odin kicks, he makes the hole deeper too. Bits of dirt and twigs have been flying everywhere, but egg stays put. I suppose he could always bury it if he can't get it out.

New view.
It's windy and buffering a lot. Not sure who it is.
Sad to read on Green J and XD. I am remembering Manton last year with 33 and Maya and the sad nest it was but both returned this year and have a successful nest so no reason to think that EJ and Odin will not do otherwise.
Well, I don't know what is going on but that's 2 days running now where Inhave had to rejoin the group in order to post!!!! Yes. I commented about the deep hole yesterday and I too wish the egg could be ejected. It is a sad reminder of what could and should have been. So Odin brought some nice fish and EJ wasn't there to receive it. There is such a lot to learn and to try to understand in Ospreyland especially in these different circumstances. I read with great interest all the comments and speculation here. Thank you all so much and to Limpy today for a very good DU.
Hi Rusty. I'm having problems with the forum too. Lost my reply box for an hour yesterday, and got locked out a few times lately too.
I think it's Odin.
Now, come along Odin - can you find a branch, pretty please, that is a bit nearer to the camera? You know there are an awful lot of people out here who can't wait to get a closer look at those gorgeous feathers, those beautiful eyes, and that magnificent regal demeanour.....
So I was wrong. It's EJ and she still has some of her early morning fish. (so that's why she didn't come for Odin's fish tail)
Sorry EJ - please don't feel that we are ignoring you , or that you are second best - you are Odin's equal in every way, and JUST as beautiful. Enjoy your breakfast in peace!
