Everything's all right here so far.

The eggs are beautiful and taken good care of both parents. :)

EJ is molning. It was nice to watch when she tried to put a feather fallen upon back! :D

Every day privilege. Upper EJ, last two Odin. A very beautiful morning again - so opposite of last spring breeding time.

Most likely an intruder here today. Or what do you say about this? :lol:

... some subjective picks the text are mine:

We’re still enjoying amazing weather up here. It’s been warm and sunny pretty much every day since I arrived. Apparently it’s not always like this in the Highlands, so I’m making the most of it by exploring the wonderful Abernethy Reserve and surrounding areas.

So as you can probably see from the webcam, EJ and Odin are getting on nicely and enjoying the weather. In stark contrast to the other morning when EJ had a layer of frost on her back, she has been sitting on the nest, panting to cool down. I’m sure she prefers the sunshine.

There’s been plenty of activity on the nest in the past few days. EJ and Odin have had to see off several intruders who got a bit too close to the nest. There have been a couple of other ospreys and even a buzzard sniffing around. At one point yesterday morning, Odin was up in the air for a good few minutes protecting EJ and the eggs. He certainly is a devoted partner and proud father to be...

In blog was told, here have been a lot of intruders - that can perhaps seen also of Odin' and EJ' faces. They are very alert and looks almost angry: Dont even think to come our nest!

Here comes Odin and fish about 17:30 LG time. So nice to see, when Odin gently approaching eggs and manages with care. Now he has been brooding one hour.
