Just getting us started, in case our couple decide to start their day before we are ready for them.
Yesterday Odin seemed to get into gear with matings - not a lot of fish-gifting seen, maybe EJ went fishing for herself.
But he did do a skydance at lunchtime followed by a fishless landing and then a quick fly-around for mating. His voice had trouble carrying thru the wind:

I keep the cam open while I was doing other things, and got the tail end of EJ flying off, leaving Odin on the nest, so I take it EJ got the fish.

At last Odin brought the fish back for EJ!

My cat distracted me but I think EJ got some fish then and has flown off with it Don't know how big apiece
I saw lots of orange, Patily, so I think it was a decent portion...
I expect I'm miles behind, doing Dyfi, but here are shots hopefully showing how little of the fish was left for poor EJ:
I am sure someone will have captures. I wasn't fast enough to catch it.
Trying to do several things at once.
Will check back later.
Thanks for shot, Scylla - that large patch of orange was very deceptive :-(
Scylla I liked your post for the capture. Not for the measly piece of fish EJ got. It was a huge fish, he must have gorged himself on it in that space of time :-)
Odin ate it (almost) all :-(
