Hi everybody.
We've had an eventful day with Odin bringing in 5 fish and intruders trying to land on the nest but being chased off by EJ.
All is quiet on the nest except for fidgiting from the chicks who are keeping EJ awake. She has her back to us at present and is looking toward the right of the picture. One little one has just been obliging over the far end of the nest.
Happy watching, see you in the morning. night, night.

EJ has returned and is preening whilst the chicks are still dozing after their last feed.
Ah EJ is back
Unknown said: Lynette, that was a sudden alarm call. The chicks hit the deck simultaneously: Very unusual for EJ to alarm and then fly off like that. Still scanning the skies.

It was an alarm call then, Sandy. Anyhow she is back now.
Unknown said:I have been thinking about the ringing and tagging as the time is fast approaching and there does not seem to have been anything mentioned about it in the blogs so far
ALAN, I have noticed (under Support Us) on the Main LG Diary Page, they are asking for donations, which is to include 'tagging of their Ospreys', so I presume they have made their decision and they will be tagging again this year. I also presume there will be no special collection this year.
Maybe they don't like to ask again, having had the electricity appeal!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Another small FISH!!
Odin delivers a snack-sized fish!
