Not a good day yesterday. Still no Odin. Started out ENS, then an unringed intruder, then to our relief, EJ returned to the nest with a partially eaten fish, ate the rest on the Fish Perch. But later when it began to rain, she came back to brood the empty nest cup. She was a forlorn sight in the rain. A partial eggshell is still there, and she returned later in the evening and hunched over the cup again until the rain ceased before flying off again. Now ENS. Heartbreaking.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Yer tis (in my best Cornish). Should be a bit better quality in 15 minutes/whenever.
She was on the nest from 09:48 to 10:13.

I am glad to hear EJ is still defending her nest, but she still looks so lost. I hope she stays around for the rest of the season, and even if ODIN doesn't return I am sure there will be another Osprey will ventually get her attention especially for nest year.
I'm off again, back later :)
The wind has picked up
brief sunshine
I feel so sorry for her - from having everything to nothing and her hard work during the snow. Heart breaking
Hello everyone, thanks for all the updates.
I don't like seeing EJ on her own and I am hoping that Odin appears soon. I'll check back later BFN
She's flown
