Yesterday's CATCHUP, including another whole fish for EJ and its return to Odin.
EJ came to the nest after a (probable) Pine Marten clunk was heard - she stayed on watch, perching as far out to the right as possible. This video begins with a clunk and ends with a squit:
2m07s
Too late for me to add on to vigil vid, she checked around the nest and flew:

Aviemore Ospreys facebook page had this post on this morning:
"Had the Loch Insh male dive four times this morning before getting a fish, then was working in the hide when an Osprey i think might have been Odin hit the water at 10 am, if anybody looks at the Abernethy Osprey centre web cam and sees an Osprey arrive with a rainbow trout then it was him."
Hi 25mac. Odin did bring in some fish at 11am, but the view was obscured so I can't give the fish (or remains of) an ID However, he had a full crop then.

Mating, Odin has flown.
More mating in the usual location.

I did detect some pinkiness in the fish, and got the impression there was quite a bit of it left after Odin's share. So the timing could work out :)
EJ is agitated.
Hi HERON!
I heard corvid, that explains the flapping on the nest.
She's flown.................and back
