A fishful day, courtesy of both EJ and Odin, marked by a fierce fish fight won by Rowan, and a tender scene of EJ feeding Willow into the evening night cam. The nest has become a fish station at this point, and the jays know it. :)
The state of the nest tonight, in a silent night.
Last shots of EJ (by Lynette) on a B+W nest last night.YUK."You know I am leaving soon."

Think there is an INTRUDER around EJ and two juvies on nest mantling and shouting.....
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
All calm now, although one juvie shouting because he hasn't got the fish :-)
EJ still there.....
I am getting about 30 seconds between buffers on Carnyx, such a pain!
Other Juvie still shouting :-)
Intruder is back All mantling and screming
All three shouting now, INTRUDER back again.
Odin arrives and gone No fish
Good morning all, thank you for reports and lovely snaps so far.
I shall put catchup in here :)
CATCHUP
Nothing to report until cam went down :o
Recovery finds Odin on the nest:
Watchful:
And cute:
Left:
Maybe that was the same intruder who's been annoying EJ and the boys.
He's back again:
DAYCAM 0521hr after buffer:
I wouldn't be surprised if some nestcupping was buffered out. Off he flew:
Was this EJ with the fish?
Big buffer >:(
Pause:
A whopper, as to be expected:
Willow tried for it:
Then Rowan:
And he got it:
Not fair, sez Willow to us:
Flounced off:
Rowan begins intruder response:
I've extracted some footage for video.
IMAGICAT
All quiet again, EJ is sticking to the nest like glue, obviously not wanting to move too far away from it in case that intruder comes back.
She keeps closing her eyes like she is having 40 winks :-) maybe dreaming of warmer weather, sun, sea and maybe even sand!
Morning SCYLLA, hope you had a good sleep. I will leave it in your capable hands now :-)
