Another day of watching Odin and EJ at Loch Garten. There certainly are a rich store of captures available from this season.
Had the eggs at Loch Garten been allowed to hatch it seems likely that there would have been three rapidly growing chicks in the nest by now.
However Loch Garten history is proving useful elsewhere. At Glaslyn the female is incubating what are a sixth and a seventh egg. Now no one really knows how eggs like these will behave as it is such a rare happening. However in 2007 EJ laid seven eggs (4 + 3). The thing was that the second clutch hatched very early at 34 days. Now will the Glaslyn eggs behave similarly? Well we have not got long to wait. We may know by the weekend.

Moffer I hope this appearance doesn't mean you are ignoring medical advice!!?? Good to 'see' you but.............?
Birdies LG DU update.
Hi Mike, I'm doing short stints of watching with the sound turned up, in case I miss a fly in. I have to be careful as I can't close my eye. When it gets too much I'll have to walk away. I know my limitations :) Your so thoughtful, thank you.
Here's Odin. Bounced around, mantled and gone.
Odin's here to repel an intruder:
Gone.

Hello MOFFER! So nice to see you :-* I won't nag, MIKE speaks for us all so he can take the blame ;-)
Odin's back with some little clumps, I think.
He really put some welly into the nestcupping :o
I did some pics of Odin's second visit, and then saw that you'd already done some Scylla. What the heck, I'll post them as I've done them now.
ENS since Odin's second visit.
