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 :)

He's back :)
moffer said:I must be loosing me marbles!! :( I swear that I saw Odin, staring at the cam tree, then gone, but it's not recorded.
I thought I'd come to the rescue, that you must have had a glitch in your recording - but no, I can't find him (or your marbles) despite going thru almost frame by frame.
We'll put it down to wishful thinking ;-)

and gone again
And off, as am I! Happy watching...
Odin was never so industrious at the start of the season, when it would have been appropriate. He's behaving now as if he's giving the nest an end-of-season spit and polish - but more so.
