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 :)

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 ;-) [/quote] 13.11 I saw this and expected Odin to follow, but he didn't. Possibly this is what you caught out of the corner of your eye, Moffer? Limpy's cap was more of a blob than mine! Mine is a morph!!! LOL Birdie's DU Summaries 2018 https://www.imagicat.com/

I think he is still in breeding mode, although it could be a frustration nest, on top of his breeding nest :)
He's back again
Flown at 15 47

Um sorry guys. My Kindle had frozen on his last visit, well the pic anyway, and when I picked it up to refresh, I saw him there. (Very red faced and feeling foolish)
Why feel foolish. I bet we have all done it!
The sun has come out now, and Odin's feathers drying.
He has flown. 15.48
Posted an hour ago on LG FB, so ca 14.50, a soggy Odin
