EJ just checking the eggs. Settles back and appears to be calling for bacon & eggs or toast & marmalade or something.
Cirrus I am gutted about the sound and you don't realise how much you miss when the nest is silent.
Fish all OK at present but they were in a sorry state earlier so fingers crossed they will be OK. We do have Herons around here but touch wood have never lost any fish that way.

EJ and Odin seem to be doing short shifts at present. We have been without internet connection since last evening, but in the last half hour or so with connection EJ came in and took over incubation from Odin. Now Odin has just returned bearing, I think, nesting material. EJ got up and flew off. I am pretty certain it wasn't a fish delivery.

Sorry to hear that the sound may not be able to be fixed...
Warm Welcome to Kate Doubleday who has joined our Osprey Group today.
You are so good to notice Lindy. Yes, welcome Kate (we have a Kate2 as well :) )
Welcome to the gorup Kate good to have you with us.
Odin has just gone on an exercise flight, deserting the eggs! Hmm 1, 2, 3 secs and counting...
And EJ flies back to take over 30 seconds later!! Whew.
Thanks SheilaFE such a worry when you see those eggs uncovered but I guess EJ was nearby and maybe calling to let Odin know she was comng back.
There could have been intruders and that was why Odin flew off - if they were what he considered too near the nest, Busard or Osprey or Crow, he wouldn't accept that and would see them off.
