    I have just had a quick look at the webcam in my favourites and it is lovely to see Odin back on the nest with EJ.Having read the blog it appears he arrived back yesterday bringing with him a very large fish which he offered to EJ so they are definetley well on their way to another good breeding season.:yess::happydance:

    Lets all hope that after the events of last year that they have no problems and go on to raise some much needed chicks :yess:

    Also the Loch of Lowes has an Osprey on the nest and the Rutland nest had one Osprey the other day so will have to see if any more have arrived yet as I haven't looked for a couple of days :)

    Thanks for the link Robert and look forward to be there with them each day :yess:

    It was great to watch EJ putting down the new fitted carpet this morning - ie a nice soft bundle of moss. She spent ages getting it just right :heehee:.

    Men. EJ got everything just so, then Odin flew in, mucked it all up and then flew off for a pint with the lads.
