I know I am a little early, but since I have a break, I will take advantage!
Yesterday brought a seemingly endless supply of fish, and it was noted more than once that #1 has suddenly grown monstrously big during the course of the day. The one remarkable event of aggression was #1 pecking at EJ (sequence by moffer), who had somehow jabbed her several times with the back end of sticks she was attempting to arrange (video by Birdie Num Num).
Speaking of which, we will have to muddle on by ourselves while BNN goes on her holidays! We hope she has a good time but hurry back please. :-*

#2 made no fuss after the initial shock, just lay down again - it would have been a different story with #1 ;-)

Hello all, thank you for keeping me updated with all the nesty goings-ons as usual, I don't post much but I do appreciate it as I'm a working mum :) Apologies if this has already been mentioned but the Garten ospreys and the Loch Garten Centre were both featured on the "Highlands - Scotland's Wild Heart) programme last night on BBC1 (but maybe only in Scotland?), can be seen now on the iplayer. Great piece by Jen, who my family and I had the pleasure of meeting last year. The whole series has been brilliant actually with ospreys featuring in earlier programmes. Will get the link to the programme if needed :)
Thank you Fiona. I'll look that up and watch it :)
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
All quiet on the nest. EJ is trying to stay awake.
Moffer, I see that they've just newly shared the link on RSPB Operation Osprey page on FB .....they must have read my mind ;)
A quick call from EJ. She is very alert now.
EJ may have seen Odin, but no fish. She's nodding again.

Hi Moffer and everyone
Been away for the day, so thanks for all your posts, pics and videos, excellent reporting from the DU's as always.
Thanks to Birdie too for her excellent summary, even when on holiday.
You really are all a dedicated bunch :-)
Edit: WOW 5 fish today, good boy Odin! :-)
