Daily Update (Loch Garten Nest) Wednesday 6th April

Sure I saw a fish but was I mistaken as I can't see it at the moment.

Well, EJ did bring the earlier fish back to the nest - it got  covered up in the moss - dunno if that was deliberate Margo. So, maybe that's what you saw then and there hasn't been a later fish. Still, she only needs one a day , I suppose at the moment. Different when the chicks are hatched.

Got to go now and get ready but look forward to catching up tomorrow and please let that wind ease, poor EJ and Odin must be getting fed up with it.

Both on the nest, being buffeted in the wind.  Another mating. Odin flies off, and EJ clings on tight to the nest!

My goodness, the gusting wind is dreadful.  It is surprising that EJ stays rooted to the nest, let alone the nest itself, the microphone and the camera!  According to XCWeather it will be gusting at 44mph at 4.00pm at Boat of Garten, it will be stronger on the nest.  It drops to 28mph by 10.00pm and stays below 30mph until 7.00pm tomorrow evening.

Thanks for the good news re the wind Sheila. Please let it be very moderate after tomorrow evening

EJ was calling, expectantly for a fish?  Odin arrived, landing on her back.  Quick mate, and both flew off.

Both returned.  She ducked so perhaps Odin brought in a stick.  He left and she followed.

Thanks for all pics and posts :)   (for yesterday and today) Excellent read!

EJ's back again.
