Well, what a funny day we had yesterday. Comings and goings. EJ in the morning. Odin later on. Two juves screeching away for food which was delivered afternoon and evening. EJ was seen at breakfast time but not since. Has she left?? We will have to wait to see what today brings.
Thanks once again to all who update us early morning etc sometimes with pics but often with witty comments.
At present the nest is as you can guess empty. Spotlights have been seen in the area but I failed to snap as was too late to do so. Not sure what it was all about.
Over to the early morning shift - must think about bed as it has gone midnight here.

''one year when EJ was missing for a few days and then returned to the nest before she migrated.''
That's interesting Brenda ! I didn't know that. However, it doesn't help my flagging spirits, sigh. How sillly of me wlhen it's the natural thing for an Osprey to do (migrate) I think it's just the long wait to truly know that all is well and once more EJ made a safe flight to and from Africa.
Hello Barbara Jean - do you mean before Joan and I snapped Odin? That he brought a fish and there were no takers?

Yes
He brought a fish and sat there chirping softly to announce he was there. After a bit when no one came for the fish he flew off with it
The time he came is on page 1
It was at 7:58

9:38 and Odin has landed.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Just having another look before I go shopping! Odin on the nest again I see.

Looked around and left.
The briefest of visits by -- Odin !!
EDIT: Joan - you were so lucky to see him! He flew onto the nest, I barely had time to snap this pic, & he was off again...
