At 1.30pm on Friday 3rd April 2009 a new male osprey arrived at Loch Garten and began to woo EJ who has had a difficult time at Loch Garten since she arrived on June 16th 2003 having been evicted from her own nest.
At the time we said that we would give the new male time to settle in before passing judgent. As the season darws to a close maybe it is the time to say what Odin has come to mean to you and how he compares to previous Loch Garten males like OVS, Henry and Ollie?

Thanks Valc - was just lucky that day, I guess. Do love the ones of Odin when he is in 'caring mode.'
Here is another: Odin 'On Guard' while EJ is on the eggs.
Let's not forget this remarkable chap !
Can't see that happening Cirus!! He is such a lovely osprey.
Cirrus we will not forget Odin that is for sure, he is just wonderful. Hope he is having a safe migration together with EJ and chicks.

Two short years ago Odin was unknown to us. It was OVS that we were waiting to return.
Odin ? ....Outstanding . Thanks for renewing the forum Tiger
Tiger: Thanks.
I'll never forget how Odin turned a very ordinary World Cup into someting far better, by bringing in a half-time fish at just about every evening game:-) Super Osprey!

Lovely to see mention of Odin and his remarkable ability to bring half time fish
