Hi to all night owls and those across the water.
EJ looks peaceful on the nest - just having a fidgit and moving the eggs around but otherwise all is well.
Happy watching and see you in the morning.

Thanks for the picture DjoanS.
EJ waited a full 24 hours for that fish, but it can't be easy for Odin to fish today.
Odin looks so comfortable and proud when he is egg-sitting :-)

Missed the fish delivery but glad to see Odin incubating now. Thanks DjoanS.
EJ back and Odin needed a little persuasion to move.
Good afternoon DjoanS and thanks for the pic of the fish delivery. I am so relieved. Had a peek first thing and then had to go out because I had forgotten to get an anniversary card for OH. The reason for our Venice trip is to celebrate our anniversary. My memory is shot to pices nowadays. Switched on when I cam in and to my dismay poor EJ was still waiting for a fish. At least the snow has gone from the nest but from they say on the weather forecast it is going to be very cold for the next couple of nights.
News about the volcanic ash seems better today, apparently the cloud has dispersed so lets hope it stays that way.
Have a good afternoon and thanks again for the pic.

What a relief Brenda H was so worried for her this morning knowing how cold it is at LG. Its pretty chilly here as well. What a state we get in worrying about EJ and Odin. All I could think of when I was out earlier was has Odin delivered a fish. Run round the shops like someone possessed. It really takes over your life osprey watching.
Lovely change over between Odin and EJ. No fish, just a social call.
Odin has just flown in talking softly to EJ who seem to know he was around. Little bit of housework by Odin before he incubates. Sitting now and looking very proud as always. I think he whispered in her ear saying "you go and have a break dear, I will hold the fort for you". Isn't he just the best.
Odin flies in ... does a bit of housework ... icluding dumping twigs right in front of EJ ... a bit of chirping to each other ... and off goes EJ! Odin doing his favourite thing now ... egg-sitting again :-)
Odin back egg sitting as EJ leaves.
