Another good day for EJ and Odin. Despite the wind the nest is looking better, with more soft nest material, and a new blog from Jen is reassuringly unworried about the PM hole. I was watching EJ working there this evening and was reminded of a past season when the nestcup was steep and deep - maybe the PM only nuzzled a hole that was already there.
I expect EJ to add to the good news from other nests very soon ;-)
It's a blustery, wet night.

Odin is on the nest now. I hope I haven't missed a fish delivery in the last few minutes:
He is nestorising with almost as much enthusiasm as he shows for mating!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thanks for the fish announcement SHEILA. Enjoyed your captures CLARE. Yours too LYNETTE and SHEILA :) So, two eggs and two to go :) EJ can't be far behind.
Thanks, Sheila!
Come on, Odin, give us a close up!
Odin gave a half-hearted warning and became alert. It is louder now, and he is watching something. Probably an intruder flying overhead, but not near enough to be of concern.

Getting louder, bless him!
Definitely looking agitated now. Has Blue XD been nagged off his nest already?
He has flown.
