Given the length of EJ's early-morning absence from the nest (best part of 3 hours), you'd think it safe to assume that she did get a fish before the cam recovered just before 0600hr - but MIKE checked in just as the cam came back up, to an empty nest and then Odin flew in. That seems strange - there should have been an exchange on the nest, but the circumstances Mike found are more indicative of EJ having flown for a break and Odin flying in to take over. Maybe she had gone fishing for herself, and that's why she didn't seriously scream for fish all day. I do hope that MOFFER gets a reply to her query eventually.
The dreaded Blue Darvic was on the scene again yesterday (that's blithely assuming he's the same chap who intruded last year)... but Odin dealt with him efficiently. Apart from that it was a lovely day, with both EJ and Odin presenting us with treats for the eyes and hearts on a bright sunny day.
No flyabouts or flaps yet tonight, just the usual alternating between sleeps (plenty) and watchfulnesses and egg-care:
IMAGICAT
Good morning all and thank you for the early updates especially the review of yesterday by Scylla.
I hope Odin is fishing at the moment, that EJ gets a fish and that we have a peaceful day today with no intruders.
Morning Rusty and Twinkle.
I'm hanging in here as long as I can hoping for a fish.

I think EJ can see fish
FISH @ 8.20
(I snapped as I went and got so excited that I shut the recording off, so I can't improve on my snaps. Didn't get a good view of the fish. Sorry)
Proud Odin
Glad you hung on to capture that Moffer. Looked to be a nice fish. Good to know that EJ is eating.
I'll be in and out, but more out than in today. I'm recording.
Good Morning Everyone
Thank you for starting us off Scylla and for the informative intro too.
Odin sits at the moment, keeping an eye out for intruders no doubt.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Hope you don't mind Moffer, I took your first snip and brightened it up (now garish I know) but it shows the width of the fish and not just a fish tail. There should be plenty of eating in that for EJ :-)
MOFFER'S CAPTURE 08.20 AM
