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 :)

Odin has morphed back with a licheny stick which he is tackling

No, that's not right, I think it should be here... well perhaps here instead.
Well, that will have to do. Now I'll check over the back....

Thank you for the Odin-in-the-rain pic, SHEILA :-*
Here's Odin taking his licheny stick all over the place (couldn't cover all positions, due to blurs):

He's back and bouncing like a youngster
I don't know what all that was about.
Here's the boy again. Saying hello and posing before turning his back looking around, but not mantling.
