Indeed M Lake - but I'm convinced Odin is safe and sound and will surely come - hopefully only three days (or less) to go and his white white breast will dazzle his gal and Blue will quiver and bog off

Hello all... I'm usually over on Gabfest.. I've learned tonight that Boy Blue is or was part of the oldest couple in Strathspey.. He's a pretty experienced Osprey.. I fear Odin may have a bit of a fight on his talons for his girl... when he returns.
All for one and one for all.
You don't say BlackJag -experienced? well, all I can say is he sure doesn't look like it with how he's treating EJ. Once EJ sees Odin , all those magnificent fish he brings in will be recalled to her mind and she'll turn her beak up at Blue
EDIT nice to see you BTW

I totally agree with you. I think that Odin has a huge problem. Remember we have never known Odin to need to fight for the nest.
I do not think his chances of getting the nest back are that great and they get less every day.

From where I'm sitting BXD needs to prove his worth in terms of fish. I am amazed, nay, appalled, that such an experienced osprey could be such a poor provider thus far.

Hi Cirrus.. I don't think we have spoken.. but I have read your posts with intrest..
As Tiger points out.. Boy Blue is quite a formidable fellow... the longer Odin leaves the challenge... the less chance he has in winning.
Totally agree that XD needs to up his ante in the fishing stakes. He's done well in the nest building department but so far only two small fish are a let down. Whether EJ continues to pair with XD or Odin comes back and reclaims the nest, she deserves only the best.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Hello Heron 77..
yes I agree BXD is not showing is fishing qualities...yet...
You don't get to be part of an "old married" couple by accident though...
He must have something...
Hello Black Jag. XD must have something if he was part of the oldest Osprey couple in the area.

Yep... He must be a good Osprey if he lasted so long in a couple..Time and Odin will tell...
