Three's a crowd! Yesterday there was a persistent intruder around quite a lot. Odin was alarm calling on and off for most of the day. It approached the nest several times and touched down briefly at 20.08 but made a full landing with Odin there at 20.18. It was only there for a minute before both birds took to the air.
We did however have some lovely viewing from the mobile cam. Thank you cam operator. EJ was especially lovely to watch as she sat and preened in the camera tree with the VC in the distance. Also Odin Skydancing and delivering a big fish to EJ was lovely to see from a side angle.
What will today bring? Watch this space :)

I wonder why they aren't sitting on the love tree together these days, or maybe they are but we don't see them...
Oh gosh Odin got stuck in a twiggy branch!

EJ gone in a buffer.
EJ's flown
Odin gone in a buffer... no still here even though it stopped.
He looked at the cam for a moment as if to say, "That's women for ya."
He was just about to tackle the twiggy stick when the buffer came again.
Odin's "coat":
Can't find a sharp shot:

I know it is like a cape.
He's still standing there waiting for her to return.
At least the spider web seems to have receded with the light...
Odin does some nest maintainance
and settles down for a nap, waiting for the mist to clear so that he can go fishing
