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 :)

EJ's on the nest when I return, looking very ready for:
FISH @ 0502hr !!!!!!!!!!!!
Correction, as per CC's post:
FISH @ 0501hr !!!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe not since the cam froze... but Odin has arrived and EJ left, maybe hopefully with fish... Sound is very LOW.
Odin leaves.
A good one!
Oooo scylla - those are good captures. I missed most in a freeze! But have a vid above...
Last capture has Odin talking to Moffer, "See that, I lived up to *my* part of the deal --- a fish --- so now let the VC folks man the cams and you'll have your wish!"
Okay, now it is my bedtime - I have a long drive ahead of me tomorrow morning. I hope you see much more of the pair today out and about the Woods. :-*
Good morning all. Safe journey tomorrow CC.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thank you, CC, and drive safely! :-*
