Daily Update (LG Diary) Thursday 17th June

  • Odin just delivered another good size fish. Not much excitement. Chick # 1 & Titch are  the only ones eating.. And they didn't rush to the fish when it was delivered 

    Titch must have a hollow leg

  • All tucking in again..........

  • Titch is so flat out from   over eating  it can't even keep it's wings on it's back LOL The  wings are  spread out on the nest  like the rest of Titch

  • Morning/afternoon all: Thanks so much for pix, posts. LizLFW Appreciate knowing where those fish came from; Wattle: Thanks for your sharp eyes and photo enlargement skills (was that cleaned fish from some hapless fisherman I wonder?).      Had to laugh at "lettuce leaves spread out on nest" and "basketball with legs" descriptions.  :-)   

    Wonder if Odin will repeat the show tonight - not sure I can stand the excitement!   Off to start day; back later. Take care all and thanks again.

  • Hi Annette, It's just been one big fish fest all day!!!! I wonder how they get excited about fish ALL the time!!! LOL       EDIT That was queer I was told I had a duplicate post and I don't.  Humm!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

    Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.

  • Is there stilla fish in the nest.  EJ seems to be looking for something!!

    Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.

  • Everything seems peaceful now. Chicks are sleeping it off and EJ is just standing there content looking and enjoying the peace and quiet. At least there have been no intruders today.

  • I read that it takes an Osprey 4-5 dives to catch a fish. Perhaps Odin has perfected his diving skills so he is catching his prey on the first dive, That would make it possible for him  to deliver so many fish in a short time.

  • I heard that they sometimes only catch 1 in 5 of the fish they dive for, Barbara Jean.   So Odin is doing well, and perhaps you're right about him perfecting his skills now, he's certainly had plenty of practice this year and last!  Odin the Magnificent!

  • Stirrings on the nest and they are awake and having a look around whilst EJ looks on.EJ's getting a little nest tired and was stretching her wing and foot. Now feeding herself with the leftovers.
