Evening all: Gary and AQ were watching until about 2 a.m. UK time. I'm late starting! EJ is on the nest with just the barest, faintest, slightest hint of the morning over the hills
Unknown said: Did you get that one, Gary?
Did you get that one, Gary?
Think so Sandy, give me a couple of minutes.....
So its the intruder who's been 'mouthing; back to EJ. Too quick for me to notice rings. Did any of you see anything then or before. EJs not happy
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Spike Milligan
No probs, Gary - good work!

Looking at the vid, it seems to be a male but EJ wouldn't react to Odin like that so must be an intruder.
However, and I so hope I'm wrong, at the start of the clip, when EJ is off the eggs, there is a dark mark at the top of the front one. Just SO hoping that isn't a hole:((
Great work, Gary.
I too saw that "hole" - couldn't decide whether it was just natural marking on the egg or not.
Thanks VERY much for that Gary. Great stuff. I think it's a male too , cos very while breasted (probably why I thought it may be Odin ) but I agree EJ would not react quite like that !!!! if it were our precous boy.. Fear not !! re the egg - it was a 'dark marking' not a hole .
I noticed when EJ stood up just shorly before the oher Osprey landed . I;m sure it is the dark markings the eggs have. Fingers crossed
Thank goodness, intruder seems to have gone. EJ much more calm now.
Thanks everyone and thanks for the reassurance about the "non hole"!!
OK, I'm off for a lie down after all the tension then some exercise!!! Hope Odin comes back very soon
Don't want to speak too soon but EJ seems a little more settled, maybe the intruder has moved away
