After the horrendous weather and lack of sightings on the static nest cam on Sunday, we hoped for better yesterday.
The weather was much improved, but we were still on the static nest cam, No sight or sound of any Osprey at all until 12.50pm when Odin landed defending the nest. At just gone 1pm a BTO ringed intruder landed briefly, and then again a few minutes later. Odin gave chase and we didn't see it again. Odin remained very alert with eyes to the sky often after that.
All was quiet until just gone 4pm and EJ landed :) Odin returned and they spent a few minutes together before she retreated to the campost. That was all we saw of EJ today. We heard her calling from the campost though.
Odin started on major nestorations, bringing in some pretty big sticks, and kept going on and off the nest until 10.37pm, so lots of sightings of Odin yesterday.
What will today bring? Fish and a mobile camera please :)

Thanks Moffer. At least the hum warns me that the cam has dropped out. I'm on the PC at present, with one eye on the Anderson v Djoko match, and headphones on in the hope I might hear something before it happens!

It's raining again :(
I'm off to do some jobs, but I'm watching and recording and will be back if anything happens,
Here's Odin (he must have heard me)
EDIT< well that's weird. He was on my Kindle, but not on my PC. A quick land and gone again???
Oh, I can hear the rain now! Along with an click, click - perhaps it is a direct hit on a particular area of the mic. It is wet. I doubt we will see any action until it stops. Even an intruder will be put off!!
Odin?? Did he come when I looked up at the TV screen? I missed him!
The rain is very magnified on the mike, hope not causing more damage :-/

So what was that at the back of the nest?

I must be loosing me marbles!! :( I swear that I saw Odin, staring at the cam tree, then gone, but it's not recorded.
Crazy lady needs a break! Laters ;)
Heavy rainy and thunderstorms again today - I think the rain drops must be running down the lense!
SOUND! Good morning ALL. I'm getting ready for my drive to Vermont. Clare, I hope Helen's illness is sorted by the time I return. And that the rain has receded...
