Daily Update (Loch Garten) Saturday April 9, 2011

Odin on the nest ... does some excavating ... and moves that big clump again ... and again!

Both on the nest ... I didn't see if EJ brought back any fish ... doesn't look like it! Then Odin flies off ... and EJ re-arranges the sticks and moss that Odin moved!!!

Okay I'll admit it.  The battle for the placement of the big clump of grass has just been added to the multitude of things that have me gripped to the LG webcam. LOL

Odin is back, and fighting with the grass again, but not satisfied with his choice of position yet.

Edit:  It's back where he started with it now, but he really doesn't like the large stick and is trying to move that.

Oh well, guess I cannot move that without another pair of wings to help me.  Hurmph.  No, I'll have another go.  Oh, the view is lovely tonight.  That *** stick will move, if it kills me.

I give up.  That twig is much easier.  Shall I move the grass?  No, I'll dig the cup instead. 

And with that Odin, the magnificent leaves the nest.

Thanks for the commentary Sheila. :-) 

Empty nest at the moment.  I can hear insects buzzing, so just waiting for the first insect of the season to land on the lense and become a giant ;-)

And in the midst of my ramblings EJ arrives, followed by Odin. 

Both flown off again.  Empty nest.

Paul.

Just looked in again as have been out this afternoon doing some shopping.

Nest was empty but EJ and Odin flew in and Odin has flown off.  EJ chirping gently - calling Odin. Having just said that she is off. Someone is around though because of the clunk on one of the perches.

BTW thanks for all the updates and pics. Some lovely captures.
