EGG #1 has arrived courtesy of EJ & Odin [VIDEO courtesy of scylla], at about 19:00 yesterday! [pic courtesy of Moffer]. What else can one say? Thus begins a long time stint on the nest where we get to watch a season with the family! :-*

Thanks for starting the new DU, CC. What a great privilege it was to witness EJ lay her first egg of the season, yesterday. She really is a very phenomenal Osprey.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Good morning and Thank You, CC, and good morning, HERON.
I've seen the egg a few times but not without the tuft in the way.
Sweet face :)

Just got my first clear view of the egg :-) Cheers EJ! And thanks for laying it on the eve of a day off.
Sounds quite windy at LG just now.

She's up for another flap, thinking about a flyaround? No, not this weather (it's been raining softly on 'n off) back to precious egg.
Here's ruthless Odin, no mercy for the mother-to-be of his children :o
On the bright side, we can see his lovely head:
