Daily Update. Sunday, 5th June, 2011

Hi everyone.

Many thanks for all the posts, pics, and vids on yestarday's thread.  Great to hear of Odin bringing in plenty of fish.  A sevenfer?!  No wonder his offspring seem to grow at roughly the speed of sound.  Super Osprey! :-)

Here's EJ enjoying some rest.  A truce must've broken out between Star and Storm ;-)

    Hi Annette :-)  It was brilliant watching Odin on the nest with that fish.  At one point the poor guy looked down at it as if to say: "I wish she'd make her bloomin mind up." LOL

     

     

    Exactly !! Yesterday she wanted two  fish back to back . Today she doesn't even want one whole one.  There is a left over from the 4:30 fish  behind her. 

    I felt sorry for him !

    Odin's day is not starting out well !  After EJ took the 4:30 fish he walked over to the left over fish and was taking a bite of it when Storm lifted it's rear and squirted "narrowly" missing Odin  LOL

    I noticed that, Barbara.  Odin didn't seem worried though.  He doesn't breed them with a poor aim ;-)

  • Heron: Oh dear, poor Odin - getting no thanks for all his efforts!  #1 chick looks very curious about what's going on while EJ is off flying about.

  • Lovely pic of the chicks, Annette :-)

    Sadly my wi-fi's developing a bit of a mood, so I'll have to log off for a bit :-(  If any Ospreys fly over my ISP's headquarters on their migration route, I urge them to fire the byproduct of a diet of raw fish.

  • Take care Heron and have a good Sunday.

    EJ looking very alert and seems to be calling intermittently; apparently she's changed her mind and now wants some of the fish Odin took off with.

  • Or maybe it's Star who's agitating for breakfast!  Storm has just popped out from under Mom for a poop (did not get that shot)!  Sorry, forgot to say Good Morning (very early morning) Barbara Jean.

       

    
  • Lovely pics early birds !!

     Thanks once more Heron for the start off and the fish pics. I guess we call that Fish 1 even if EJ didn't take it !!!!   I do like the pic of Odin and EJ ''exchanging looks'', priceless.

    Good pics Annette so I  trust you are feeling more comfy with MWS

    Hello there Barbara

    I have a pic of EJ and chicks waiting for dad (I assume) , EJ been flying round  quite a lot which she must enjoy after so much inactivity.
