There is not a lot to report for yesterday, much the same as the last few days.
I feel now we are just biding our time waiting for EJ and Odin to migrate, and we can only hope for a better season next year.
Well it is quiet on the nest at this moment in time.
So we start another new day in the life of EJ and Odin with ENS.

Morning all! Just going to put a catchup in here :-)

A few seconds later EJ landed again with DAYCAM @ 0341hr:
A few more seconds and Odin landed:

Morning Scylla. :)
How wonderful. Odin's back on form, skydancing and bringing fish (albeit a small piece) when EJ asked. Brilliant. Thanks for your lovely pics and captions.
I've lost all my nests, my internet has gone very weird.
ENS for the last 2 hours.
Well this is a turn-up for the books! Loads of sites won't load but RSPB will - LOL!
Odin's back with minor alarm tweets
When he's happy the coast is clear, he moves a stick and just stands looking around.
