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 :)

Hi guys, Morning Nannascott. Looks like it's going to be a lovely day at LG.

Morning Odin, with a lovely full crop.
Good morning, PATILY and CIRRUS and...
Landed with a rumble of wings and a very full crop!
IMAGICAT

Straight down to business
Good morning, all! Great to see Odin has brought his beautiful mate a nice fish.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Yes, I'm still THE MAN:
Even if I can be seen doing the housework:
After a good potter and a bit of a pose, one last kick and he's flown.
