EJ and Odin have been quite a lot at the nest this afternoon, but the situations there don't look stresless.

Things seems much happier on the Loch Garten nest this morning. Normality seems to have resumed.

Wonder if an egg is due soon?

Those are lovely captures Annie.

Something strange happened recently. Odin was singing in the sky, EJ in the nest asking demandingly fish (i think), Odin came with his fish, but he decided (?) then not to give it to EJ. They had to fight for it, Odin flew off with fish. A lesson?

EJ was very pleased for a big whole fish she got from Odin. Odin seemed also pleased staying in the nest - now he brought more yellow moss. :) ... as if they both were soon waiting a first egg arriving?

Well the egg duly arrived at about 5.15pm BST yesterday.

However Odin was a bit suspicious and seemed to think about kicking the egg out of the nest.

Here is the video of Odin's first meeting with the egg. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L2QXx1r ... detailpage[/youtube]

Yes, he really was suspicious :lol: Acting like a news agent, concentrating only on nose news :lol: In the beginning Odin even seemed to shake his head lightly :lol:

Let`s just hope everything turns out to be fine :kiss:

Two Eggs

Kuva Kuva
Odin brings a half fish to EJ.. he don't look like specially eager to breed eggs, so EJ stays in the nest with eggs and fish.

Today I saw "old provider" Odin in the nest.
Kuva KuvaKuva EJ had something to ask for, and Odin tried to figure it out. - He didn't, or wanted not to understand.
