Another routine day, with last night's snow having hampered our devoted couple not at all.
"Routine"... it might sound boring, but the activity on this nest at the beginning of this season is the most reassuring I've seen in my short LG-watching career.
IMHO the PM hole has to be a slight concern, if only because it seems to be preventing EJ and Odin (especially Odin) from making up their minds on the nestcup position. The clumps that filled the hole didn't last long. So that's something to keep us on our toes... where will the nestcup be?
Not a lot of glare on the nest tonight, thank you HQ :-) This particular view is rather nice because you can see the birds' shadow on the "next door" tree in as they fly to the nest. But nobody's obliged yet tonight.

Doing a Tiger I see SCYLLA :) and very good too. Lovely start off. Thank you for the fish news and captures thereof CLARE. Sorry about the heavy frost OLLIEBEAK but grateful there is no snow. I am still a little concerned about the PM hole . I see Odin is trying to level the entire nest (or something). He's put up extra barricades on the hole side . OK off to watch your video now SCYLLA
Hi, Cirrus! I can only assume EJ has already eaten today as she appears to be the picture of contentment as she sits next to the fish.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Maybe the brief wave of whatever wasn't wings ?? It wasn't a very larg shadow, for wings, if that's what it was. Yes, the rug has been moved.And EJ still not interested in the fish which is odd , Thank you MARY OLLIEB CLARE and SCYLLa for pics and posts and hello to you all
I was just saying that Lassie looks unconcerned about there being no fish; EJ looks unconcerned about the fish that's there! Maybe both eggy ladies.
It's too early for EJ to be eggy - Odin has only been back for a week.
She has flown:
Back again almost immediately:
Odin joins her:
I suspect there's an intruder about:
They are still both on the nest - EJ is looking calm while Odin is still watchful.
You're looking particularly gorgeous today, Odin:
Back on the alert:
