Lindybird I was thinking that earlier, a lot of their head movements resembleowls.
Hi Margo, There have been no fish deliveries since last night.
I saw Odin bring in some moss at 10.58 and try to take over the egg. No wonder EJ wasn't going anywhere!! I then went out for a walk so missed the laying! Hope for a third egg on Tuesday. Well done EJ.

Afternoon all,
I have been out and about this morning and I have just logged on. Delighted to see that a second egg has been laid. Thanks everyone for your reports and pics.

Brenda hope Odin going to oblige soon, EJ must be hungry.
It is great there are two eggs now! EJ looks very peaceful . Human babies recognize their mother's heart beat I am sure the chicks recognize both EJ and Odin's heart beats since they both brood the eggs.
I recall a couple of incidents last year when Odin must have been followed to the nest by an intruder. He started alarm calling when he arrived at the nest. The chicks immediately laid down at his feet for security . They may not know he was their dad but they knew he was safe.

Hello Barbara Jean it is a sight to make anyone happy at LG, EJ so peaceful and content. I am sure the chicks recognise their parents. Hoping Odin is going to oblige with a fish soon. No doubt he will want to take his turn at incubating as well.
Just had my first view of the second egg. Odin flew in, no fish though and is just standing on side of nest. Thought he was going to take over incubation duties when EJ stood up and had a stretch but she has now sat down again.
