Yesterday it was an awful day for our osprey family. They've had rain pouring down on them almost all day. EJ and the GEMs have been waiting patiently for a fish the whole day. The fish finally arrived at 20.27 and it was a whole whale. Hurrah Magnificent Odin! (ehm,,, Odin had dropped a precious fish in the morning -- picture from FB Operation Osprey).
At the moment it's not raining and EJ's feathers seem to be dry
However, more rain is expected for today. :-(

Flyabout, stretch, poop:
No fly-back.

EJ is fish-calling. If only we knew whether Odin got himself a fish last night - if not, we may expect a meagre portion to arrive eventually.
EJ's gone quiet suddenly.
Calling again, that call that rises at the end, so familiar :-)
Good morning MC.
Birdies LG DU update.
FISH @ 0542hr !!!!!!!!!!!
A good fish but EJ wasted no time whisking it out of our sight:
Odin pottered a tiny bit:
No take-off, just some scraggly feathers:
It's quite a quiet feed, by recent standards - tweets 'n chirps low-key.

Mwah !!!
She wants another fish. I was supposed to have checked what, if anything, was left of the first one but something distracted me. Off I go :-)
Verdict... this was EJ with the final crumb in her beak:
