The sad sight of a lonely dark nest. I think I was not the only one who thought Odin would have arrived yesterday. However, it may be right that he would wait to show his Magnificent Self on scylla's birthday! For certain, we will have our eyes peeled.

It is eerily quiet so far today. Is EJ on tree campost? Has EJ gone fishing? Is EJ's alter ego, Easy Jane, seeking a partner?
I haven't got a list of previous 'intruders' other than Blue XD, and he is not going to arrive any time soon, but does anyone remember White TF(07)? He returned as a two-year old, and was a persistent intruder in 2009. I wonder what happened to him. Then of course we had 2015, the failed nest, when so many intruders upset the season completely, and Odin was injured during one of the fights. Perhaps it is a little too early for intruders at the moment?

I'm starting to think that every year, it is not Odin to be late, but EJ to be early! There has not been many ospreys around so far, has it? We heard skydancing a few times, so a male must be around...
I think (hope) EJ has gone fishing and is now eating on some tree near the nest.

Well spotted Moffer!
Yay, EJ has landed, and a crow calls in welcome!!
And she's gone
No fish in her talons
And she has flown already. No fish in talons
Been and gone on Carnyx, and just landed on VCL!!
Is it the crow now on the cam post? Oh, no, EJ has landed.
I think she has landed on the nest campost, and called in that funny way that the Dyfi birds do, when cross with the crows. 11.26 she had dropped down to the nest again. Woodie is tap tapping too. Crow calls, more tap taps. Now it's all go! EJ is looking around
