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.

Odin's back, just standing and looking fab. Very alert.

IMAGICAT
Saw someone's feet nearly land.
But there was a glitch, don't know if it did touch the nest:
Video still processing, YT has bee terrible (for me anyway) this past 2-3 days.
A couple of alarm calls, mantling!
A blue darvic bird tries to land
Flown. I think he's on the cam post
Alarm calls off cam
I filled in my post above while I was correcting a typo.
A blue ringed marauder no less, well captured ladies
Taking an hour off but recording, so shout out if you see anything.
I'm taking more than an hour off. Shattered.
