Evening all. Quiet on the nest.
Odin flies in without gifts of fish or nest materials ... but EJ willingly hands over the eggs.

Changeover but no fish delivery. Odin back on the eggs:
Odin sounds the intruder alarm.
Eggs were uncovered, EJ just came back, mantling, now settling down, eggs were uncovered at least 5 mins.

Odin flew off the eggs seemingly chasing an intruder ... after a while EJ returns and mantles furiously at an intruder
Wow, Odin got chased off the nest by an intruder, the eggs were unattended for a minute or two, EJ returns and has to mantle furiously.
Just returned home to see the eggs unattended, but when EJ returned and was furiously mantling, another osprey's could be seen attempting to land from the left. Gutsy EJ saw it off.
Thanks for all this afternoon's news and pictures.
EJ not happy, constantly scouring the sky for intruders.
David Anderson has put a note on the official blog about the intruders
Well, missed the actiion again. All looks reasonably calm now but EJ is still looking round and preening in between. Will look at David's note.
