Hi folks. Still dark; back later.
5:15 a.m. Nest now visible but no birds.
Dawn is breaking and there is no one on the nest.
I wonder if anyone at LG will report if EJ or Odin have been seen yesterday or today.
Because the girls didn't appear to get a fish last night EJ may have finally left. She has been bringing the evening fish
Odin had been bringing breakfast. Does anyone know if he delivered a fish yesterday morning? I didn't read that he did.

Hi Barbara Jean: I don't see any record of EJ or Odin on FaceBook or the Diary. We'll see what today brings!
Aha! Bird on Nest. Two birds on nest!! Mallachie and Garten - how unusual! THey look as if they're expecting someone to arrive with fish...
Both gone.
Tired and signing off now; busy day tomorrow. Night all. Will be interested to read of developments in the a.m. Night!
EJ ( I am quite sure ) just delivered a fish to Mallachie. Garten is not on the nest. Mallachie was quite aggressive in grabbing it from EJ. There was quite a flapping of wings. After she had it she mantled over it until EJ left. Then she flew off with the fish.
Garten never came to the nest as the fish was delivered. She must not be in the area to see EJ flying in with it. Where is Garten ---out fishing?
Fish brought in at 7:45, Garten flew off the nest with it.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
In case there's someone on this site who knows the answer, has anyone found a marker for Rothes last night - ie the 20th? Even zooming right in to see if two were overlapping, I couldn't find a post.
Maybe I'm going blind - it's there now, still in the woods near the fish farm
