The idyllic start to the season continues, with the only blot being intruders (which come with the territory). Today an Odin-lookalike appeared to land on the nest but I'm not sure that it wasn't Odin putting himself between the intruder and the nest before chasing it off.
This is what we could have had tonight:
This is what we have - at least it's not as bad as last night.
I suppose the people who adjust the "lights" can't see the outcomes because they're locked out of the VC ??? If only we knew.
Then at 0120hr they briefly changed the light again:
EJ checked the egg - all present and correct:
Someone out there? I didn't hear anything:
Poop and flap:
Another sweep of the lights (I know they're not lights as such, but what are we to call them?):
They're doing it about every hour:
IMAGICAT
Thank you all for your good wishes.
I just had a big buzz on the line and sound is back :)
Odin looks fantastic as ever.

Odin gives an intruder chirrup

I reported 'no sound' @ 0755, no-one takes any notice of me >:(
However, it's back now with a vengeance so I hope you are enjoying the birdsong and Odin's alarm tweets even if you can't watch. And I hope your back mends PDQ (((Moffer))) x

Yes I do remember, CIRRUS, but these seem to be the infra-reds that get swept around - I don't think that car lights would remove the glare from the nest. Or would they? We definitely need a 24/7 mole at HQ for a week or so ;-) [/quote]Good idea Scylla & while they are there get some of those high resolution captures from VC screen!! Good morning to all 2013 photos & vids here eff37 on Flickr

It's behaving very strangely - I edited a post and it "took" but when I refreshed the original post was back again :-/
There's an intermittent buzz now, not like cam-buzz but like a bee or fly caught in something... I think Odin can hear it too.
Odin calls EJ back and then they mate
