What a cold and frosty morning! EJ will be reluctant to expose those eggs for a while.
DAYCAM 0536hr:
Back soon.

Good morning all thanks for the pics of poor EJ with frost on her back. Hopefully she will have warmed up a bit now and Odin will provide a fish soon. He does take his parenting duties seriously.
Odin stopped in with a big stick that he put on EJ's neck. He then moved it off to the side. I missed the actual arrival.

She just got up for a stretch (maybe she had a poo, I didn't notice) and sat down again:
EJ was pinned down by a giant insect :o
ah scylla no!!! too much drama ;-) I thought you were having a little rest? you deserve after all the drama today.
Hi :)
Thanks for all the posts, pics, vids etc. Great stuff. I see Odin's on the eggs just now. Not sure if there's been fish delivery since the back of 7 o'clock, or its just a general shift swap between EJ and Odin.
Since Odin's such a dude. Here's a picture
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
EJ arrived back with remaining bit of fish at 20.11, and after some persuasion Odin relinquished his role as incubator. He flow off with the remains of fish and EJ's now settled on the eggs :)
Heron77 thank you for the updates and pics. This nest has been so lovely and calm hasnt it this year? long may it continue :-)
Its been brilliant this year so far, seagull. Only a short gap between EJ and Odin arriving. No serious worries for the birds and we've not even had the usual three feet of snow on the nest. Okay I exaggerated that last part. It's normally two and a half feet ;)
Its such a treat to watch this nest so calm and no trouble, fingers still crossed though, its almost too perfect, but after last year they deserve to be content, these two realy are the perfect pair, bet Monty wishes his life was as peaceful
The more you rush, the longer it takes
