Just half awake, I noticed the lack of DU blog. I hope this is another good day on the nest. Here it is raining.

EJ is still housekeeping, and being blown around by large gusts of wind. Good job she is a large bird or she would surely be blown off the nest. now and then she stops for a good look all around.
.... EDIT: has just taken off without much warning, maybe to nearby camera tree.
Now she's back!
Djoan: Nice to know she is still keeping up her yoga exercises!
Feel so sorry for EJ in that wind it is blowing straight up her bottom but she is not giving up and is standing her ground. Either this will wind will speed Odin up or delay him a while longer.

Hi everyone.Thanks for starting the thread jsb.A warm welcome to the new people :-)bocelli: I'm very sorry your Golden Retriever had to be put to sleep. I hope watching the Ospreys can give you comfort.Em: Sorry to hear you lost Herbie just before Christmas. I lost a Budgie when I was 8. He had to be put to sleep after having a stroke. Even 25 years later I still doubt I could own another pet.Everyone: Thanks for all your updates and pictures. I must say I feel sorry for poor EJ being buffered by those strong winds.

Paul I lost my budgie 5 years ago and cannot face having another one, couldn't bear to go through that again. Took me weeks to come to terms with it. He was wonderful company and he and I understood one another completely.
Lovely pic and caption for EJ being seriously buffeted by that wind.
Whistles from EJ and she seems very alert to something.
Got to go now back tomorrow, have a good evening all.

Afternoon all. Very windy at LG and EJ having a job to stand her ground - it looks like she is hanging on in there. Also quite windy at LOtL - Lady has a half eaten fish with her and is also holding on for dear life.
