Morning everybody - poor EJ once again looking as though she could have done with 'her duvet' last night :-(.
Many thanks for 'the overnight watch', Limpy and Scylla - your info and pics are so much appreciated :-).
Fingers crossed for a peaceful 'settling-in day' for EJ with a couple of decent sized fish from her everloving Odin.

Odin arrives with a stick that he plonks in front of EJ. That won't get her up mate. You'll have to get a fish.
And he's gone.
Yes SCYLLA, we have the annoying thing on the right again.
Morning Ollie :)

Hi fellow ospreyholics :)
Many thanks for all the posts, pics etc. And just as I was thinking of what to say next; Odin arrives with a big stick. Here's hoping he brings EJ a massive fish soon :)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Odin's back with another stick. It makes me laugh how he puts his tail on top of EJ.
Morning Heron :)
I see Odin using the huge branch on EJ's back tactic, to get a turn on the egg ;-)
A big mossy branch this time, and he puts it on top of EJ. That got her up.
Watch the egg you divvy
Phew it's ok.
EJ's having a good peck at that stick now.
Sadly I log off :( Got to head off for work soon. Although I will keep the cam running until the last nanosecond before I leave the house.
Happy watching everyone :)
Good clear view (well, ish) of the egg:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good morning, all! Let's hope His Gorgeousness brings her some breakfast soon - that'll give him his hoped-for turn at incubating.
