When will the first egg hatch?

I can’t believe there’s only two weeks until the chicks hatch out to become EJ and Odin’s third successive offspring. We are suspecting the first egg might hatch around the 21st or 22nd of May in keeping with last years first arrival on the 21st May.

In Scotland has been a thunderstorm today, it's also forecast in Abernethy for night. Just now the weather however is better, EJ is brooding, she don't look very pleased , no wonder. Hopefully the night would be more better.

Morning at the nest - not sunny, but not rainy either. EJ brooding, maybe waiting a fish too.


EJ returns after having a short round flight.

... and there it comes! EJ flies off to eat breakfast, and Odin.. you know that

It's 05:20Am and Odin is brooding.

EJ broods, takes good care of eggs, arranges some sticks and calls between Odin.

About 08.30Am

A Merry Christmas to all our readers

I’ll pass you over to Phil this week for news of the Reserve, but before I go, a quick update on our three osprey. Tore and Rothes are, as usual, content in their respective haunts, but Bynack has been on a sleepover again – this time he’s been visiting an area to the east of Dakar, Mbourou and returned the following day to Djoudi National Park. He certainly seems to like his trips away!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for keeping me company these last few months and look forward to what adventures lie ahead in 2012.

A very Happy Christmas!
