Well, this DU intro is all about Junior. Our new male certainly has a way with twigs and branches, as seen in Moffer's early morning snap below. In fact, it turns out looking like our Junior may likely be last season's Twiggy, underlined by the fact that Limpy has called him Twiggy all along, and scylla finally did an empirical study of head markings. He also seems to be one of those fathers that needs to be pushed off the eggs (scylla's vid), and that was after only bringing clumps, not fish. After a couple intruder alerts, Moffer posted this wonderful shot of him yawning as EJ calls for a meal (that she hadn't had yet). It was only after 1 pm that he circled over the nest with a headless fish before finally delivering it to EJ 5 minutes later. Floating names for this new male brought out the origin of Odin's name. Sheila offered a note from Alison on Junior's whereabouts off the nest from LG's perspectives. Growing consensus that he's worthy has many wanting to see him properly named, especially since he has a dedicated thread here. EJ had been dozing on the nest, as seen below, but right now she is sorting her feathers after having been awakened by something a little while ago (next post).© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild_______________________________________The Daily Update is for recording nest events only, allowing for banter, though—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread.

He is having a quick look at the eggs just now
then a little wiggle and settles down
We certainly shouldn't be calling him Junior anymore He has passed his initiation with flying colours

He certainly has, but I shall carry on until LG name him (let's hope it's very soon!) - can't very well change it again for something temp.

Looks like it's raining. Junior sits.
He really is a handsome bird.
I am thinking how prominent the "y" is on his head.
.
I think Orion is a good choice, Orion is of course " the hunter" and he seems to excell at hunting for fish. It also starts with the letter "O" Ollie, Olive, Odin "Orion" it just might please everybody.

The other Os are all 2 syllables. I'd be calling him Orry, mentally anyway.
Conversely, Odin was often known as Ody-Pody here ;-D
Orion sounds like the best name suggested so far.

How about Finlay? It's Scots/Gaelic. Got a 'Y' at the end of it too!
And scylla, I thought Odin's nickname was Mr Tufty?
I added FISH DELIVERY video to the catchup, which was BOPS'd :(
