Yesterday I wished for fish and a mobile cam. Odin kept his side of the deal by providing EJ with THREE fish. 5.01am, 8.04pm and 9.50pm.
The weather was pretty wet on and off all day, but it didn't stop Odin from adding quite a few new branches to the nest. As said by Sheila, "it's like he's building a frustration nest on top of this nest", and I agree. There was only one brief intruder episode that we noted, and it didn't come to anything.
It was lovely to see so much of EJ. Much more than of late, starting in the early morning too :)
Lets hope that today is as enjoyable to watch. Would be lovely with sound please.

Thanks for starting us off, MOFFER :-)
A nice nest view tonight:
The wind is, at least, reassuring us that we have sound. It's blustering spasmondically.
IMAGICAT
No-one seen or heard yet. It's getting lighter.
Here's Odin, a fairly silent arrival, just the rush of wings.
Casual flaps:
Check the area:
Flap over to the other side and check there:
And that's where he is now, silently looking out.
Flown.
Odin returned just before 0400:
Is looking out:
Pottering.
"Pottering" might be too strong a word ;-) Now he's looking over the right side, all still except for occasional changes of head direction:
More low-key pottering:
And on that note, he flew off.
Back again @ 0416hr:
Now he's looking out back.
Weather: "Some sheltered glens of Scotland could (pregnant pause) get very close to freezing". Well, we wouldn't call LG a 'sheltered glen', but looks like it'll be cold.
