Some rain and some sun. Four fish, and all's well for our well-fed family. Odin was spotted fishing at Aviemore yesterday, competing with a squadron of other osprey before the rain. Amazing how EJ ignores the pecks from her offspring with aplomb, to return to sheltering them from weather and overnight. Here she is dozing and keeping watch.

They grow up so fast! What fun to see them active on the nest with their flapping and housekeeping. Is Rowan becoming a bit of a poser, too?
Lots of preening and stretching.
'Give me a snuggle'
Ummm, no!
Good morning, all! Our boys are looking contented on the nest, while I'm hoping the beautiful EJ is catching up on some sleep somewhere comfortable.
By the way they are ringing the Dyfi Two as we speak.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
EJ is back and calling for fish
Headless FISH @ 9.28
Only Willow gets up for a feed
Odin has flown
