Evening all. All looks quiet on the nest.
Evening all - shame about the buzzing. The birdsong is just lovely, Willow wabler, and the omnipresent Chaffinch and the occassional Chiff Chaff. Really nice, If you close your eyes you can imagine a really warm bright sunshine evening, lol

Did amyone see Loch of the Lowes on stv "The Hour"a programme I don't watch but was switching channels and low and behold There was Marge on her nest and the male came in with a fish and he st on the eggs. In mjy opinion EJ and Odin have a far superior penthouse and plenty walking about room for the babes. LotL is too "branchy" but MY opinion remember!
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
Hiya Tish. I know what you mean about the difference in nests. I sometimes think LOTL is safer looking for when they're really small and staggering around. On saying that EJ normally builds it up slightly.
The shadows are lengthening now into evening, and all is peaceful. I must away from here & do other tasks, enjoy, all you watchers! 'Bye
EJ looking glorious in the late evening sun:
Sandy, that is a lovely capture of our EJ, looking so regal:)
Thanks for all the reports/video clips. Haven;t watched mych today but great to be able to catch up.
Jane, hope you got your socks!!:)
Ej off the nest for a few seconds. Haven't seen Odin any time I've looked in this evening.
Heres Odin with a fish no idea what size its too dark
Just logged on to see both EJ and Odin on nest - some sort of change over I think plus a bit of nest tidying up. Its now one of them sitting on the eggs whilst the other one hangs about for a bit.

Maybe it wasn't a fish, or if it was it was just a bite, Ej has came back to sit on eggs after getting up and taking something from him. Odin Standing beside her on nest.
