LOL I wouldn't put anything past Odin to provide well for his family ! Look at all the fish he caught in the rain.

Another magnificent days fishing for OdIn, 7 fish equalling this seasons best daily total I believe. EJ will only go fishing if she feels secure enough to leave the chicks and if Odin keeps bringing in 7 a day she will not need to.
lol. I have seen a photograph of an Osprey emerge from fishing with a fish in each tallon. Amazing photograph.
I like to think thats how Odin did it last year,
Susan: The trouble is I'm not sure that anyone knows exactly where Odin fishes. We are pretty certain that EJ goes to the fish farm as she normally hauls back a whale of a rainbow trout.
For my money I think that EJ will start fishing in a week or so, as others have said, once she is confident of leaving them alone on the nest. Looking at them now I don't think that will be long in coming!
She did last year Alan, look at 21st June lshe went off and came back with one, Odin was doing well enough with 6 fish each day. It was the 17th the year before. As I said last night though, with the intrusions at the nest recently maybe not so soon. She's proved over the years to be a very Independent Lady, lol
Thanks, everyone, for the posts and pics. I've only been able to pop in and out today and it's great to know what's happening. The chicks really are ENORMOUS! I agree with those who think #1 and #2 are female and 3 is male, although he/she is 3 days younger than #2. Time will tell!.
oops don't know hat happened there, That was just a small table I cut and paste from last years June Blog.
Oops - what's happened here?
Hi everyone.Thanks for all the updates and pics. What a great job by Odin bringing in 7 fish. Those chicks are huge now, and getting bigger by the day. :-)
