What a lovely day for EJ and Odin yesterday was :o Apart from a couple of nuisance intruders (EJ was more concerned than Odin, but he did join in the protests a little), they were both left in peace to nestorise and go thru the procreation process - many times!
We thought that no fish had been brought to the nest and I was concerned because I couldn't find EJ having been absent for long enough to eat a fish, let alone fish for one. Late last night I managed to find this:

FISH @ 1910hr !!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wondering if I should start over again, in case there's an early-morning one I've missed.
IMAGICAT
Morning all. Odin arrives with a big stick. After placing it he mates with EJ. They both leave.

Hi, Moffer!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Morning Clare. I am so slow at posting this year, I'm just filling in gaps. If I see posters here I tend to lurk.
Morning SCYLLA CC CLARE and MOFFEW . You early birds :) thank you for the start off and the 'breakfast' captures'. Looks dryer there than here right now ! What is Odin gong to do about that holes :(
Hi, Cirrus! Moffer, I don't think it matters if you're posting slowly - it's always nice to see you and if you post then we know you're about and we can talk to you!!
Odin has brought another stick:
I can't wait to see him do his 'proudly expectant father' pose on the eggs!
Odin returns with another stick and does some nestorations.
Good to see that they are both busy getting the nest ready, and that Odin is aware of his need to be amorous in the extreme!! Expect they will both give the hole in the nest some attention before the eggs arrive.
It seems to make a real difference to Odin that EJ is ready and waiting for him on his arrival. He was visibly much less joyful in the two years he found EJ with Blue XD.
His Gorgeousness has flown.
He's back, followed by EJ:
Yup, you guessed it:
