Brilliant news. I knew it the minute I went to the live cam and saw EJ sitting. Hurray. A BIG THANK you to all posts, especially all the clever folks who linked to videos for those of us who missed it. Lovely. EJ is inspecting the egg right now - and has just settled down on it again. Have to pop out; then cook dinner and still haven't had a shower; back later.
LOL Lindybird, I think it is EJ who is the clever one in choosing such a handsome beau for herself and she probably remembers what a fisherman he is. Had to laugh at Odin having a scandinatian accent.

EJ just got up and flew away - gone for about 30 seconds, then returned almost together with Odin (did she see him approach?) He had a small fish (headless) in his claw, but although she saw it, she did not grab it, and eventually, he flew off.
Hi Folks, Funny you should mention their accents, Linda, because one day when everyone was remarking on EJ shouting at Odin fo fish, I thought to myself that maybe they both spoke different languages and he just didn't understand what she was going on about. I know, it is sad how I amuse myself.
A big thank you for all the photographs.
I can't understand how he doesnt seem to hear us all shout "FISH, ODIN" when he keeps bringing yet more sticks.
I noticed this morning that EJ did not grab the fish. She waited a while untill Odin released it and moved away.
Afternoon Brenda H I just love our "silly sessions" when I can sit here giggling away. Great people on this site. Entertainment at its very best.
Very true Linda. The wind must have been blowing in the wrong direction.
For those wanting nest news. EJ is just serenely sitting on the egg.
Odin has brought a fish, but is busy eating it himself !!
i haven't seen that before. She did think it was for her but he is ignoring her as he continues to eat.
Here they are in a very strong wind, trying not to be blown away. You can just see the remains of the fish under Odins left claw. EJ on the right.
