I thought it would be nice to have a special thread as a Tribute to the Magnificent Odin..... I hope others will add their own tributes.
Odin first arrived AT LOCH GARTEN in 2009
Here is Richards BLOG announcing the arrival on the nest.

I did this wee video as a Tribute to Odin.
Get the hankies out! Don't know how many times I blubbered making it up .
I hope Limpy doesn't mind as I used a couple of his videos, but as I didn't have any way of communicating to ask I hope its alright.
I know Scylla won't mind me using hers. :-)

Lovely tribute. Thank you Mary. And here I sit just a few miles from where I last saw him in a tree at Loch Mallachie. What a white breast he had and always looked quite cross on camera!
Thankyou MARY I wanted to do a tribute a few weeks ago but haven't got the tech skills You have done a brilliant job Gorgeous Odin I now need a new box of tissues One special bird
I didn't 'know' Odin in the way that you all did, but your tribute shows that he was a beautiful osprey and a great character, Mary. So sad that he's been lost, like Glesni.
Thanks, Mary. Odin was one very special Osprey and is much missed.
Kind regards, Ann
That is really beautiful Mary, so moving. Thank you.
Oh Rats! I so miss him so very much. Thank you Mary. My darling, darlling boy
Thank you Mary, that was beautiful.
I so hope there is an osprey heaven, Odin will be in good company there :'(
